Union Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy and Mines Piyush Goyal has said that the government will come out with a very robust electric vehicle (EV) policy in the current fiscal for promotion of electric vehicles in order to make India a global leader in the segment.
The minister has said that government think-tank NITI Aayog has drawn up certain ideas but the project is being looked after by the Heavy Industries Ministry. He also said that “we have made a policy decision within the three ministries that all the ministerial vehicles and the vehicles used by our PSUs in and around Delhi will be replaced by the electric vehicles”. He also believes that they will have all discussions and come up with a robust policy in order to boost domestic manufacturing of electric vehicles.
Goyal further said that the government wants to encourage research and development in the electric mobility sector and aspires to be a leader in the world. He also highlighted that the country is looking at having an all-electric car fleet by 2030 with an express objective of lowering the fuel import bill and running cost of vehicles. Earlier, he had said that initially the government can handhold the electric vehicle industry for 2-3 years to help it stabilize.
