EV Car: The Indian government is making electric vehicles (EVs) the preferred option for official fleets. Under the revised vehicle-purchase policy, electric cars will generally be chosen over petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles. The net dealer price cap is Rs 2 million for EVs and Rs 1 million for petrol, diesel, and hybrid models.
EV Purchase Limit Doubled to Rs 20 Lakh
The Department of Expenditure in the Ministry of Finance issued a new order on Tuesday. The central government’s decision is seen as an important step toward cleaner government transport and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. When an existing petrol or diesel staff car is declared unusable and needs replacement, it will generally be replaced with an electric car. EVs will therefore be the standard preference for government vehicle purchases.
As part of the revised procurement policy, the government has set a price ceiling of Rs 20 lakh for electric cars and Rs 10 lakh for petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles. Central government officials and employees will also be eligible for laptops, tablets, and notebooks costing up to Rs 150,000, which they may keep after four years.
