To promote research and innovation in electric mobility, the UT administration under its electric vehicle (EV) policy will be providing a slew of incentives to the first ten startups promising zero-emission mobility.
On the recommendation of the Chandigarh Renewal Energy and Science and Technology Promotion Society (CREST), a provision has been made to provide infrastructure incentives and patent fees to promising start-ups in the UT’s EV Policy.
A senior official, who did not wish to be named, said, “In the infrastructure incentive category, the first 10 startups with zero-emission mobility will be given a monthly grant of ₹3,000 per person ( ₹18,000 per month). They will also be paid up to 50% of the patent fee and other associated expenses for nationally and internationally registered patents. For nationally registered patents, they will be paid up to ₹2 lakh and for international patents up to ₹5 lakh.”
