EV Vehicles Discount 20 Percent Announced in Telangana
- EV vehicles discount aims to cut pollution in Hyderabad
- Ponnam Prabhakar highlights EV push by Revanth Reddy government
Hyderabad, March 24: The Telangana government has announced a 20 percent EV vehicles discount for its employees as part of efforts to reduce pollution. Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said the initiative is aimed at making Hyderabad a cleaner city.
The minister stated that the government is promoting electric vehicles despite a revenue impact of Rs. 1000 crore. However, he stressed that the move is necessary to control rising pollution levels. He said the Revanth Reddy government is taking clear steps to address this issue.
Meanwhile, the EV vehicles discount applies to employees working in the Telangana government. The minister explained that the scheme is part of a broader plan to encourage the use of electric vehicles. Therefore, the government hopes more people will shift away from conventional fuel vehicles.
Ponnam Prabhakar also said that Telangana aims to become a pollution-free state. He noted that the government is introducing not only EV autos but also electric buses. These measures are intended to improve air quality and reduce emissions across the city.
Furthermore, the minister pointed out that subsidies for EV vehicles in Telangana are higher than in any other state. He said this reflects the government’s strong focus on clean transport. At the same time, he highlighted that pollution in major cities is largely caused by vehicle emissions.
Several studies have already shown that vehicle pollution contributes significantly to poor air quality. In this context, the government has decided to act quickly. The EV vehicles discount is one of the key steps in this direction.
Therefore, the initiative is expected to support both environmental goals and long-term public health. The government believes that increased use of electric vehicles will help reduce pollution in Hyderabad and across Telangana.
