Electric CVs will not require a permit claim industry sources. This measure will be soon announced by the government, they claim, to encourage a transition to electric CVs by operators in an urban environment especially. This would also include taxis, they add. The government at the centre is also said to be encouraging cab aggregators like Ola to introduce electric cab fleets. Claim industry sources that Ola is contemplating the introduction of 300 electric cabs at Nagpur as part of a feasibility run. It was sometime ago that Nitin Gadkari, road transport and highways minister revealed that Tesla is interested in making electric vehicles in India. In the face of government’s electromobility push, the removal of all permits to operate CVs is interesting. Gadkari’s ministry is known to be working on a scheme where state transport corporations can get all their old buses converted to electric vehicles as well. Gadkari is also known to have proposed various subsidies for electric vehicles.
