Now the price of electric car in the country will be less than half, Nitin Gadkari made a big announcement

If you are also thinking of buying a new electric vehicle, then probably after reading this news, you will cancel it for a year. This is because after one year the cost of that electric vehicle will be equal to the price of a normal vehicle. Let us tell you that the central government is constantly trying to promote electric vehicles.

Due to this effort, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the prices of all electric vehicles will be equal to the price of petrol vehicles within a year. Meaning after some time you will be able to buy electric vehicle at the price of petrol vehicle. Not only this, Gadkari said that the government is promoting ethanol produced from crop residues instead of petrol and diesel. They are trying that within a year, the cost of electric vehicle should be equal to the cost of petrol vehicle in the country. We will save money spent on fossil fuels. Along with this, Gadkari said that waterways are a cheaper mode of transport for us than roads and this is going to come up in a big way.

It is worth noting that in a conference, Gadkari had said that the government is going to promote the use of alternative fuels and electric vehicles in a big way. In this program he said that soon he will launch an electric tractor and electric truck. Along with this, he also told that after this the popularity of electric vehicles will increase even more. However, Gadkari added that Bajaj, TVS and Hero have introduced electric bikes and electric rickshaws are also present. He said that by 2025, the entire turnover of the automobile industry will reach about Rs 15 lakh crore from the current Rs 6.5 lakh crore.
