Mangaluru: In an effort to provide fresh fish consumers at their door, and lift the fisherman community, the fisheries department has decided to introduce e-vehicles with cold storage facilities and solar panels, for sending fish to the door.

The department has ordered Rs 4 Crore for the project.
The cost of each vehicle is around Rs 8 Lakh, and is equipped with solar panels and cold storage facilities.
