NITI Aayog initiative to spur demand of electric vehicles: SMEV

New Delhi, July 16 (UNI) Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) has said the 10-point action plan developed by NITI Aayog to combat rising air pollution could further spur the demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
This apart, it will also help in reducing carbon emissions in a huge way, SMEV said.
Government think- tank NITI Aayog has developed a 10-point action plan to combat rising air pollution in 10 most polluted cities in India.
The cities that have been identified are Kanpur, Faridabad, Gaya, Varanasi, Patna, Delhi, Lucknow, Agra, Gurgaon and Muzaffarpur. Once it gets approved and implemented in the identified cities, it could be further replicated in the other part of the country.
Electrifying last mile connectivity by 2022, including public transport, taxis and three-wheelers, has been given thrust in the proposal titled ‘Breathe India’.
“We welcome the step initiated by the NITI Ayog to address the burgeoning problem of rising air pollution in the country. Converting ICE autos into electric ones by discounting the residual value of the existing auto from a new electric auto would help in a smooth transition without putting any additional financial burden on owners” Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles Director General Sohinder Gill said.
Incentives like free registration and ease of getting permits for electric 2 wheelers and 3 wheelers would further motivate customers to adopt green mobility and run toward a cleaner future., he added.
