Chief Minister Vijay Rupani on Tuesday announced state government’s Gujarat Electric Vehicle Policy – 2021, to promote use of electric vehicles in the state. Targeting to have at least two lakh e-vehicles on Gujarat roads in the next four years, the policy offers subsidy on purchase of two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers.
Addressing media persons while announcing the policy, Rupani said that it has been announced with multiple aims like to decrease consumption of petrol/diesel, to save foreign exchange and make Gujarat less polluted.
Under the policy, subsidy of Rs 20,000 will be offered for two-wheelers, Rs 50,000 for three-wheelers and Rs 1.50 lakh for four-wheelers. The subsidy will be paid to the vehicle owner in his/her bank account through direct-benefit-transfer.
