The priority of the government is to fight pollution and develop Indian technology and innovation towards e-vehicles, says Minister for Road Transport & Highways and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Nitin Gadkari. 

Addressing India Global forum 2021 on ‘Climate Action: Electric Mobility Now’ he said Indian research is working aggressively towards pursuing green hydrogen.

Gadkari said we are trying our best to convert all our construction material to greener options. He said warm response is being received from the public on the adoption of Electric Vehicles, and he himself uses an electric car and many of the ministers are also using the same.

The minister said futuristic development is very important. He said two-wheelers and auto rickshaws are very popular and through the FAME II government scheme there are many incentives on offer for them to convert to electric.
