Sources said the boost in Maharashtra’s figures is due to the supportive policy of the state. In July 2021, the Maharashtra government had introduced the EV Policy 2021 to support the adoption of sustainable and clean mobility solutions in Maharashtra. The policy aims to transform Maharashtra into a leading state in terms of adoption of electric vehicles in the country, retain the state’s leadership in automotive manufacturing and emerge as a leading investment hub for the EV ecosystem globally.
