The Assam government announced plans to introduce mandatory electric vehicle sales targets, mirroring Delhi’s recent policy, aiming to boost clean mobility across the state.
Assam has announced its intention to introduce mandatory electric vehicle (EV) sales targets, following Delhi’s recent policy shift.
The move aims to accelerate the adoption of clean mobility solutions across the state’s transport sector.
Delhi’s mandate, which requires a certain percentage of new vehicle registrations to be electric, has been credited with boosting EV sales and reducing emissions.
Assam officials said the new policy will be rolled out in phases, with the first targets to be set for the next fiscal year.
The government also plans to provide incentives for manufacturers and consumers to support the transition.
