Setting an ambitious target of 10 per cent for all battery electric vehicles (BEV) registrations by 2025, the Maharashtra government on Tuesday unveiled its new Electric Vehicle Policy (EVP) with a slew of incentives and attractions for the customers. The EVP was released by Environment Minister Aditya Thackeray, along with Minister of State for Environment Sanjay Bansode and other top officials, in a bid to support sustainable and clean mobility solutions in tune with the Centre's directives.

Targetting 10 per cent of EVs in new vehicle registrations, which would be 10 per cent of two-wheelers, 20 per cent three-wheelers and 5 per cent four-wheelers, the policy hopes that at least 25 per cent of the urban fleet operated by fleet operators/aggregators will transition to EVs, comprising e-com companies, last mile operators, logistic players and mobility aggregators in the urban centres.
