“We need to discourage people to purchase more cars… we need to start air conditioned trolley bus services in metro cities,” he said. The minister predicted that the prices of Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be on par with the cost of petrol vehicles in the country within one or two years.
Gadkari said the government’s target is to reduce logistic cost to 10 per cent of GDP before the end of 2024 from present logistic cost of 14-16 per cent. He noted that green hydrogen is the fuel of the future.
