Air
pollution has been a major challenge in Delhi. Governments across the
World are investing a lot of resources in fighting this menace. Electric
vehicle technology has proved to be a viable alternative by reducing
the carbon emission footprint. Indian companies like Tata Motors and
Mahindra have taken a lead in R&D and manufacturing of Electric
Cars. EESL has been the main facilitator in providing these vehicles to
various Government agencies. Army’s initiative in encouraging these
electric vehicles will go a long way in further development of this
technology and its adoption for the general public in near future.
