AMN / NEW DELHI
Government has decided to exempt electric vehicles and automobiles run on alternative fuel from permit requirements. The move is in a bid to boost such vehicles in the country to bring down pollution.
This was stated by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari while addressing the annual convention of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in New Delhi yesterday.
Urging automakers to focus in this direction, the minister said demand for electric vehicles could also be created by mandating cab aggregators to induct a certain percentage of such vehicles in their fleet.
