New Delhi, April 27, 2016: To implement Prime Minister Modi’s vision of smart cities, there is need for ‘Smart Transportation’ to develop sustainable mobility for the masses. An estimated investment of $23 trillion is required for metro, rail, bus & other associated infrastructure over the period of next 20 years for efficient public transport systems in India.
The Government of India has announced a budget of Rs. 1,400 crore (USD 200 million) over the next two years on incentives and subsidies for manufacturers and buyers of electric vehicles to target six million electric vehicles on Indian roads by 2020. Also, the government has plans for electric vehicle charging stations in all urban areas and along all state and national highways by 2027.
