EVolving India Inc plans to drive ahead on battery power

Vedanta and Tata Steel are among companies rolling out electric vehicle (EV) policies to encourage employees to buy them in a year that’s already expected to see record adoption of battery-powered automobiles.

Tech companies and banks too are doing their bit. Capgemini, Cognizant, Barclays, Bank of New York Mellon and Allianz Technology are mandating that a certain proportion of vendors’ fleets for employee transportation should be electric.
