Government-appointed think tank NITI Aayog will be responsible for framing the policy on electric vehicles. During a Cabinet Secretary Pradeep Kumar Sinha-chaired meeting, it was also decided that the implementation of the EV policies will be carried out by all concerned ministries. As per reports, the initiative will be spearheaded by a Mission Director, with NITI Aayog acting as a coordinator. As per the draft policy submitted by the Aayog, EV owners will likely be offered three-year free parking as well as toll waivers. Furthermore, it calls for 10% of all residential, shopping and office complexes to be reserved as parking space for electric vehicles. To be able to achieve the ambitious goal of 100% electric vehicles by 2030, NITI Aayog will have to work closely with all concerned ministries to facilitate mass adoption of EVs.
