TN working on improving EV charging infrastructure: Minister TRB Rajaa

Tamil Nadu is engaged in improving the electric vehicle charging infrastructure aimed at accelerating the adoption of EVs in the state, Minister for Industries T R B Rajaa has said.

To boost EV consumption, the government also amended a policy thereby allowing battery-operated e-autorickshaws, e-taxis and e-buses to be issued permits by the transport department without a permit fee.

Earlier, permits were not being issued to battery operated passenger vehicles and those vehicles that run on methanol or ethanol fuel.
