Battery driven cars (The
Total Investment & Insurance Solutions)
India has pushed back a
deadline to put thousands of battery-driven cars on the road by nearly a year,
in a setback to its ambitions of having electric vehicles comprise about a
third of its fleet by 2030.
State-owned Energy Efficiency Services Ltd., which is responsible for procuring electric cars to replace the petrol and diesel vehicles used by government officials, will roll out the first 10,000 vehicles by March 2019, Saurabh Kumar, the agency’s managing director said. EESL issued its first tender for 10,000 cars in September. It planned to roll out 500 cars by November and the rest by June.

“The need for building more
charging points for 10,000 electric cars and states being slow in taking
deliveries are the reasons for the delay,” Kumar said in a phone interview.
There are about 150 cars in the capital New Delhi and about 100 in southern
Andhra Pradesh state and other provinces as of now, Kumar said. Of the about
200 charging stations built for these cars, over 100 are in Delhi. The Total Investment & Insurance
