Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday approved the Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy (REVP).
To incentivize the purchase of such vehicles, an additional budget provision of Rs 40 crore has been approved for the proposed lumpsum contribution and SGST recharge.
With the implementation of this policy, the pollution caused by diesel-petrol vehicles in the state will come down, officials said.
The Chief Minister had announced the introduction of the Electric Vehicle Policy in the budget of the year 2019-20.
He had said that the state government was committed to encouraging the operation of all types of e-vehicles.
