New Delhi: Central Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has told the Lok Sabha that in two more years, the prices of all-electric vehicles in the country will be equal to the prices of petrol vehicles.
Gadkari said MPs could buy and use electric vehicles if a charging station was set up on the parliament premises.
Gadkari also said that the government’s policy was to replace imports with low-cost, high-efficiency, pollution-free and domestic production.
