Chandigarh residents looking to buy hybrid vehicles under the UT’s new Electric Vehicle (EV) policy are a worried lot.
The UT Administration had rolled out its EV policy in September this year, promising to provide incentives to people who ditch internal combustion engine vehicles for the electric ones. UT Administrator, Banwarilal Purohit, while launching the EV policy then had stated that the aim was to make Chandigarh a “Model EV City” by achieving zero emission vehicles (ZEV) among all Indian cities in the next five years. The policy is only meant for the strong hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicles. Mild hybrid vehicles do not fall under the incentive policy.
