Road transport is one of the largest contributors to global CO2 emissions.
With vehicular emissions being a growing source of pollution in Maharashtra, the state government had announced its new electric vehicle (EV) policy with an aim of making such vehicles achieve 10 per cent share of total registrations by 2025.
Earlier, in July, Tata Power joined hands with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to provide end-to-end electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the latter's retail outlets at multiple cities and major highways across the country.
