To curb air pollution, the Central government is going to ask taxi aggregators like Uber and Ola to convert 40 per cent of their fleet to electri
c vehicles by April 2026.
The electrification process for cab operators is being planned in the following stages:
2021: 2.5 per cent
2022: 5 per cent
2023: 10 per cent
2026: 40 per cent
According to reports, the government will impose a rule that all new cars sold for commercial use should be electric.
Commercially used two-wheelers will be electric from April 2023 as well.
It was reported that the government is considering introducing electric buses in all major cities. It would start at 5 per cent by 2023, 30 per cent by 2026 and post that, 100 per cent of the new city buses will have to be electric.
