This EV Expo event is an important step to promote the electric vehicle sector. This will not only reduce the environmental pollution caused by petrol and diesel vehicles but is also an important step towards promoting awareness about the utility of electric vehicles in the future.
In the early last month, the state cabinet approved the Bihar Electric Vehicle Policy 2023 to promote the growth of EVs in the state. The policy seeks to enhance the share of EVs to 15% in all vehicle registrations in Bihar by 2028. The conclave, being organised jointly by the WRI India, is also being organised to created awareness about the incentives worked out by the state government for promotion of EVs and thereby help reduce the carbon emission.
