The government has refused to relent on the deadlines it has given two- and three-wheelers for running on batteries.
The deadline for three-wheelers is 2023, and that for two-wheelers having up to a 150-cc engine is 2025.
Industry executives who attended a high-powered meeting said the NITI Aayog had refused to extend the deadline and asked them to submit a road map on the proposal of transition in two weeks.
Makers of electric vehicles (EVs) and officials of the NITI Aayog and the government took part in the meeting.
