Making Bengaluru

the Electric Vehicle Capital of India

The Government of Karnataka announced the Karnataka Electric Vehicle and Energy Storage Policy in 2017, with a vision to make Karnataka, a preferred investment destination for manufacturing of electric vehicles, and Bengaluru, the Electric Vehicle Capital of India. The Policy aims to achieve the overarching objective of improving Karnataka's air quality and promoting a conducive manufacturing ecosystem in collaboration with the industry. In order to achieve this objective, the policy encourages the auto rickshaws, cab aggregators, corporate fleets and school buses/vans to achieve 100% electric mobility by 2030.
