Road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari suggested mandatory use of electric vehicles (EVs) for government departments, a move, if implemented will curb pollution. Speaking at the ‘Go Electric’ campaign in the national capital, Gadkari said that the use of 10,000 EVs in Delhi can alone save as much as Rs. 30 crore per month and also reduce vehicular pollution. Electric, as a fuel, is a clean alternative for fossil fuels. As compared to conventional fuel, electric fuel is a low cost and will reduce the government’s oil import bill.
