PUNE The standing committee of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), on Tuesday, cleared the proposal to hire 38 electric cars for eight years from a private contractor.
As per the proposal, PMC will pay Rs23.28 crore to the contractor for the cars for a period of eight years.
Standing committee chairman Hemant Rasane said, “We have given the nod to procure the cars from a private contractor, but we decided to cancel the drivers and PMC will use its own drivers.”
The cost of th drivers was Rs28,000 percar per month, said Rasane.
Though the ruling BJP voted in favor of it, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Shiv Sena opposed the proposal.
