Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the government will order 200 electric buses within the time period of a month for the city of Guwahati.
This decision is in line with the rest of the states to reduce carbon emissions and take climate change seriously. Many states have also adopted the EV Policy for the same.
In August 2021, Assam decided to have 100 CNG buses and 200 electric buses for Guwahati for reducing carbon emissions in the city. The chief minister also said that if it comes into power again, it will make its fleet of electric vehicles.
“Carbon emission is a global issue. We will try to help in controlling carbon emission by introducing an electric mode of transportation,” he added.
Assam has elections upcoming and the voting will take place on March 6 and the result will be declared on March 9.
