While eight States in India are racing ahead, boosting electric vehicle through policy ground work, Tamil Nadu has now unveiled its new electronic vehicle policy and with a strategy fixing the target as 50,000 crore in investment.

Tamil Nadu Governments Electric Vehicle Policy 2019’ aims to create a comprehensive EV ecosystem in the State, it has also chalked out a strategy to make Tamil Nadu the preferred destination for EVs and component manufacturing units, including battery and charging infrastructure. There are lot of support measures also announced in the EV policy:

1) 100 per cent road tax exemption for all types of EVs,

2) Capital subsidies,

3) Reimbursement of State GST,

4) subsidy on land cost and special incentives for job-creating EV projects. etc


Perhaps such planning may remind one the Tortoise and Hare story. The moral of the story is that you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.

Wishing the Government to achieve the target with such sops and incentives.
