In another step taken to protect the environment by reducing carbon-dioxide emission, the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP), which is in the bailiwick of Steel Authority of India Ltd, is providing its chief general managers electric vehicles (EVs).
The EVs will be replacing petrol-driven vehicles. The first lot of 22 electric vehicles, of the brand Tigor and made by Tata Motors, was handed over to Anirban Dasgupta, director in charge of the BSP, by Nitul Sharma, zonal manager of the company.
The BSP spokesperson said as many as 42 electric vehicles would be taken on lease for use by offices of chief general managers, making it one of the largest such acquisitions by any public-sector undertaking in the country.
