PUNE The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to rent 38 electric vehicles, with drivers, for eight years at the cost of ₹23.28 crore.

These vehicles will be used by office bearers and administration.

PMC commissioner Vikram Kumar put the proposal before the standing committee, where it will now be discussed.
