Chandigarh EV Push: Incentive Boost for 3,500 Four-Wheelers
Chandigarh has significantly revised its electric vehicle (EV) policy, offering a major boost to the adoption of electric cars. The revised policy extends purchase incentives to 3,500 electric four-wheelers, providing a welcome relief to consumers. This move benefits around 250 recent buyers who will receive rebates ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh per vehicle.
The policy also sweetens the deal for two-wheeler buyers. Increased subsidies are now available, along with added benefits like insurance assistance. Women buyers and electric bicycle owners will receive even higher incentives under the revised scheme.
This expansion of the EV policy is a significant step towards making electric vehicles more accessible and affordable in Chandigarh. The substantial financial aid offered, particularly for four-wheelers, is expected to accelerate the shift towards sustainable transportation in the city. The targeted support for women and bicycle users further highlights the policy’s commitment to inclusivity and environmental responsibility. This move will be keenly watched by other states considering similar initiatives to promote greener urban mobility.
