The official in the Heavy Industries said that the government has taken stock of the situation about the poor infrastructure in several auto makers who concentrate on hybrid and electric versions. The Mission will promote utility of alternative fuels- in the form of eco-protection and will eliminate the petrol and diesel variants. The move will help prevent air pollution too. The government"s move is to assist the auto makers to reduce the cost of battery which normally constitutes one third of the unit price.
The Mission will have the officials from various ministries of Road, Transport and Highways, Environment &Forests, and Science and Technology. The incentives will be accrued by way of a access on automobiles and funds from several schemes covered under urban development.
