Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Green Mobility Push

 Article link: Cabinet nod for Rs 14,000 crore green mobility push

Extract from the article:

The recent approval by the Cabinet for a Rs 14,000 crore green mobility push is a significant step towards promoting electric vehicles in India. Within this initiative, a Rs 10,900-crore incentive has been sanctioned to boost the adoption of electric mobility.

The scheme entails the installation of 22,100 fast chargers for electric 4-wheelers, 1,800 fast chargers for e-buses, and 1,000 fast chargers for electric buses.

This move aims to encourage the widespread use of eco-friendly transportation options and reduce carbon emissions significantly.

My Take:

DEAR SHRI GADKARIJI : THIS IS YOUR CHANCE FOR BIG-BANG REFORM

"In a blog post from September 2021, I highlighted the importance of limiting incentives to green vehicles as part of a big-bang reform.

It is fantastic to see the government taking this step towards promoting electric mobility with substantial incentives for electric vehicles.

This aligns with my past recommendations to introduce incentives for buyers of EVs, encourage shared transport, and implement policies to reduce pollution from land-based transport."

CONGRATULATIONS SHRI KAILASH GEHLOTJI

"Back in 2018, I proposed measures such as capital subsidies for battery charging stations and the setup of charging infrastructure across Delhi to promote electric goods carriage.

It is heartening to see a similar approach being adopted now to facilitate the installation of fast chargers for electric vehicles.

This move reflects the importance of public-private partnerships in creating a sustainable transportation ecosystem."

Call to Action:

To the policymakers and authorities involved in promoting green mobility, I urge you to continue investing in infrastructure for electric vehicles, incentivizing their adoption, and prioritizing sustainable transportation solutions.

Let's work together to build a greener and cleaner future for generations to come.
