Punjab Government Buses: Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar has directed the Secretary Transport and Director State Transport to scrap government buses that have crossed the 15-year limit, so that new electric buses can be added to the fleet.

Laljit Singh Bhullar asked the officials of Invest Punjab to encourage the companies working in the EV sector to invest in the state so that new technologies can be created in this sector as well as new employment opportunities.

State-level EVs are bound to implement the Electric Vehicle Policy-2023 designed to promote electric vehicles. Laljit Singh Bhullar while chairing the meeting of the committee at Punjab Bhawan said that these concessions will be given on electric two-wheelers, e-cycles, e-rickshaws, e-autos, electric light commercial vehicles etc.

Concessions worth around Rs 300 crore will be given over the next three years to encourage electric vehicles with a view to reducing pollution in the state.

The Transport Minister directed the officials of PSPCL and PEDA to prepare and send a report within one month regarding the planning of setting up charging stations for electric vehicles in the state and identifying such places.

He also instructed the officials of the housing construction department to formulate a policy to arrange electric vehicle charging facilities in future malls and housing societies.
