11 Cities In India Are Getting All-electric 390 Buses, 370 Taxis, 720 Autos by introvertme: 10:03am On Dec 29, 2017 |
India is taking some huge steps for the promotion of electric vehicles in the country, at a time when pollution is really choking up its cities — especially Delhi, which is choking under smog. While the ambitious plan for only electric cars to be sold in the country by 2030 still stands despite scepticism expressed about it, the Central government is also planning to introduce public transport vehicles that run on electricity in 11 cities across the country at a cost of Rs 437 crore. The project — Multi-Modal Electric Public Transport — is part of the Central government's policy known as the "Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric and Hybrid Vehciles in India", or FAME India for short Which cities will get how many electric vehicles? Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Anant Geete on Wednesday announced that the Central government was "providing Rs 437 crore subsidy to 11 cities under FAME India, for launching electric buses, taxis and three-wheelers." The three-wheelers are auto-rickshaws. So which are the cities getting these electricity-driven public transport vehicles? According to an official statement from the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises: "The selected cities are required to finalise the tendering process and issue supply order before February 28, 2018. Through this EOI [Expression of Interest], the Department of Heavy Industry is expected to spend about Rs. 437 crore under FAME India scheme (Phase I), which includes about Rs 40 crore as incentives for installation of charging infrastructure." Who gets what? The official statement from the ministry has said these 11 cities will in total get 390 buses, 370 taxis and 720 three-wheelers that will run on electricity. Here is the break-up of which city will get subsidy for how many vehicles of what kind: City Delhi Buses 40 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Ahmedabad Buses 40 Taxis 20 Three-wheelers 20 City Bengaluru Buses 40 Taxis 100 Three-wheelers 500 City Jaipur Buses 40 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Mumbai Buses 40 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Lucknow Buses 40 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Hyderabad Buses 40 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Indore Buses 40 Taxis 50 Three-wheelers 200 City Kolkata Buses 40 Taxis 200 Three-wheelers 0 City Jammu Buses 15 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Guwahati Buses 15 Taxis 0 Three-wheelers 0 City Total Buses 390 Taxis 370 Three-wheelers 720 Source : www.ibtimes.co.in/these-11-cities-india-are-getting-all-electric-390-buses-370-taxis-720-autos-rs-437-crore-754718 Lalasticlala Mynd44
