Answer: To deploy 5,000 electric cars in government departments
Notes: The 'EV as a Service' program, initiated by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL). The programme aims to deploy 5,000 electric cars across government ministries, departments, CPSEs, and institutions in the next two years. It allows flexible procurement of different EV models based on operational needs, promoting environmental sustainability. CESL has already deployed nearly 2,000 EVs and is working on 17,000 E-Buses. The initiative supports India’s net-zero emission target by 2070, reducing carbon emissions, fossil fuel reliance, and enhancing energy security.
