In a big boost for adoption and use of electric vehicles in Goa, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, the state-run Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) is set to supply 30,000 electric two-wheelers to the three States, reports Livemint.
The pact which will be signed today (5 June) by the three states and CESL, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), also includes the setting up of charging infrastructure.
In addition to these, CESL is also going to enter into a pact with the Pune Municipal Corporation for leasing out and operating three-wheeler electric vehicles for the municipal body's garbage collection fleet.
The CESL is aiming to have as many as two lakh two-wheelers and three lakh three-wheelers electric vehicles across India. It plans to nearly halve the price of the two-wheeler electric vehicles from the current about Rs 1.4 lakh to about Rs 75,000.
