As part of its efforts to promote Electric Vehicles (EV) in the country, the Union Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy R. K. Singh has written to all the Union Ministers including the Minister of States (I/C) and Chief Ministers of all the States/UTs to use Electric Vehicles for all official purposes.

R. K. Singh has asked all of them to follow the Government of India’s initiative on transformative mobility and advise their respective ministries/departments to convert their fleet of official vehicles from present Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)/Petrol/Diesel Vehicles to Electric Vehicles for all official purposes.

Such an action is expected to set an example for the general public and encourage them to switch over to E-Mobility. The initiative is part of ongoing GO ELECTRIC CAMPAIGN launched by Government of India to promote Electric Vehicles (EVs) to meet multiple objectives - attaining the goal of reduction in emission, energy security, energy efficiency etc.
