State Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday visited the factories of Tata Motors Ltd and Kinetic Green Energy Ltd in Pune.
“I am visiting a few companies in the state which are producing electric vehicles. I want to see how the production of electric vehicles takes place, and at what capacity. Also, I am trying to find out whether electric vehicles are becoming popular among the masses,” he said.
Stating that the government is implementing its electric vehicle policy with a view to encouraging production of EVs, Thackeray also urged people to make use of EVs in an effort to bring down rising levels of pollution.
