Maharashtra government urges the hospitality industry to come and support the EV policy of the government for better implementation of it. A few months back the government launched its EV policy which targets to convert 15% of its fleet into zero-emission vehicles by the year 2025.
Maharashtra tourism and environment minister, Aaditya Uddhav Thackeray, said “The state’s comprehensive EV Policy has been developed to fortify Maharashtra’s position as a leading destination for electric vehicle manufacturing and utilization. With standard operating procedures (SOPs), infrastructure mandates, and incentivization, we look forward to the widespread acceptance of EV’s in the state,” Thackeray further said.
Without the help of the private sector, proper implementation of the policy is difficult. The hotel group has recently committed to shifting to a 100% electric vehicle fleet. The hotel group will also set up EV charging infrastructures across its hotels and other commercial office spaces.
Maharashtra government launched its EV policy on 23rd July after many states adopted the same for the promotion of electric vehicles and making an EV ecosystem.
