Telangana Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has urged the people of the state to take action to prevent serious pollution problems like those in Delhi. Recently, Delhi’s air quality became so bad that schools had to close. The minister warned that Telangana could face similar issues if steps are not taken to improve air quality.
To address this concern, Minister Prabhakar introduced the state’s new Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy. The policy encourages the use of electric vehicles, which are more environmentally friendly than traditional cars that run on fossil fuels. The goal is to reduce pollution and promote cleaner transportation options.
One of the biggest benefits of the EV Policy is that electric vehicles will be exempt from road taxes and registration fees. This will make it cheaper and easier for more people in Telangana to buy electric vehicles. By making electric vehicles more affordable, the government hopes to reduce the number of polluting vehicles on the road, which will help lower carbon emissions.
Minister Prabhakar stressed that the Telangana government is committed to building a cleaner and healthier environment. He hopes that by promoting electric vehicles, the state can avoid the severe air pollution that cities like Delhi are currently facing.
This EV Policy is part of a larger plan by the Telangana government to lead in sustainable urban development. The initiative aims to tackle major challenges like climate change and pollution, ensuring a better future for the state’s residents.
