Delhi govt’s Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0 to shift gears
NEW DELHI: Delhi government’s EV Policy 2.0, which is expected to be launched in a few months, may bat for retro-fitment to promote cleaner fuel.
Electric vehicle retro-fitment refers to converting petrol or diesel vehicles to an EV. The process involves changing the original engine and other related components, and installing a new alternative energy source. It allows people to continue using their vehicles rather than getting them scrapped.
Transport minister Kailash Gahlot said, “Electric vehicle retro-fitment as a concept is costly, but the future could be promising if prices are brought down as it promotes clean air.
