Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on Tuesday the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is not just a trend but an imperative.
Addressing a gathering of stakeholders here, including Ratan Tata, former Chairman of the Tata Group, at the launch of electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) Nexon EV, Chandrasekaran said India has the majority of the 15 most polluted cities in the world.
“Couple that with oil imports of which 85 per cent comes from geographically sensitive areas, going the electric way is an imperative,” he said. The push towards electric is assuming increased significance in the light of the impact of climate change on the environment, he added.
