CESL to procure 300 electric vehicles from Tata Motors

State-owned CESL on Tuesday said it will procure 300 electric vehicles from Tata Motors.

The procurement is a part of the Scaling up Demand-Side Energy Efficiency Sector Project financed by the Asian Development Bank’s line of credit to CESL, according to a statement.

“Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) placed a Letter of Award in favour of Tata Motors for the procurement of 300 electric cars with 3 years of warranty.

This will consist of 300 four-wheeler electric cars (whose length is less than 4 meters) and range equal to or more than 250 KMs,” a CESL statement said.

CESL will work with Tata Motors to deploy these vehicles to the government entities looking to change over to electric vehicles, it added.
