HYDERABAD, Apr 25: The Telangana government is
likely to announce its policy on Electric Vehicles (EV) after
the model code of conduct ends, a senior government official
Thursday.
“The (Centre’s) FAME-2 guidelines (Faster Adoption and
Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India) offer incentives
to all the players who are involved in different aspects of
supply demand and infrastructure,” Jayesh Ranjan principal
secretary IT and Industries Telangana told reporters here.
“The state government (Telangana) guidelines (EV policy)
which will be issued after the code of conduct is over, will
address some of the points which have not been fully and
adequately covered in FA ME-2 or items which are actually
state subject,” he said.
According to him, the overall ecosystem for electric
vehicles appears to be very promising in the State and also
the country.
The Centre had in March notified the second phase of the
FAME India scheme with a Rs 10,000-crore outlay to encourage
adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles.
Telangana’s EV policy has three components — for
manufacturers, users and support mechanisms, an official had
earlier said.
Though the policy was scheduled to be unveiled last year,
it was indefinitely postponed for unknown reasons. (PTI)
