Abstract:

The vehicular population in Haryana has been increasing rapidly over the last decade. The vehicles driven on traditional fuels are the major source of environmental pollution and thereby are health hazards. Hence, this necessitates the exploration of alternative energy sources. Electric vehicles are gaining popularity across the globe. Due to fast depletion of fossil fuels, the automotive industry is also shifting from traditional fuel based technology to eco-friendly technologies. Govt of India has launched The Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME Scheme) in 2015, under National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) with an aim to promote eco-friendly vehicles in the country. In this backdrop, it becomes imperative for the state government to come up with an electric vehicle policy.
