GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday declared the’Gujarat Electric Vehicle Policy 2021′ that, as stated by him, was designed to determine at least 2 lakh electrical vehicles around the country roads in the subsequent four decades.
To encourage individuals to turn into e-vehicles, the state government could offer subsidies which range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 1,50,000 to buying vehicles under this coverage, that may stay effective for four decades, Rupani stated here in a press meet.
It’s projected that approximately 1.10 lakh electric two-wheel automobiles, 70,000 three-wheelers and 20,000 four-wheelers will soon be utilised in the nation in next four decades after the execution of the coverage, the CM said.
The state government will offer a subsidy up to Rs 20,000 to buying an electrical two-wheeler, Rs 50,000 for three-wheeler and Rs 1,50,000 about buying a four-wheeler, he explained.
According to a rough estimate, the new policy will assist in saving fuel value Rs 5 crore each year, Rupani stated, including that carbon dioxide emission will be lowered by six lakh tonnes each year.
The policy concentrates on supplying battery charge infrastructure such as e-vehicles.
Even though 278 charging channels, mainly on highways, have now been accepted, the state government will bring an additional 250 in close future.
“Overall, we’re planning for 500 charging channels, which may be installed at gas pumps or roadside resorts also.
This will enable electric vehicle owners to travel longer distances.
We’ll also give funding subsidy on the investment created by entrepreneurs to establish such billing channels,” Rupani stated.
The CM expressed optimism that the coverage would promote auto-ancillary sector and production of electrical batteries from the nation.
He maintained Gujarat is now the first nation which would offer subsidies on buying e-vehicles, stating different nations only offer street enrollment or registration fee waiver, which is extremely minimal.
