To make Punjab clean, green and pollution-free, the Transport Department has prepared the draft of a new electric vehicle (EV) policy that envisages the registration of 25 per cent more electric vehicles next year as compared to this year.
The new draft policy focus will be in cities such as Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala and Bathinda that cater to more than 50 per cent vehicles in the state. As per the draft, infrastructure in terms of electric charging points will be set up across the state for private and public electric vehicles.
