Delhi government aims to convert its entire transport system to electric: Sisodia
The Delhi government aims to convert its entire transport fleet to an electric vehicle system in the next 25 years, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Tuesday.
“We sincerely hope that when the country is celebrating its 100th Independence Day, our Delhi will be 100 per cent free from vehicular pollution,” he said, while presenting the budget for the financial year 2021-22 in the Assembly.
It is an aspirational dream to convert the entire transport system of Delhi to electric in the next 25 years but it is not impossible, Sisodia added.
The deputy chief minister said the biggest step to protect the environment has been the implementation of ‘possibly the world’s most progressive’ electric vehicle policy in Delhi since August 2020.
