[350Z]

Government has introduced e-Amrit Portal dedicated to Electric Vehicles at the ongoing COP26 Summit in U.K.



​

Press Release:

India today launched ‘E-Amrit’, a web portal on electric vehicles (EVs), at the ongoing COP26 Summit in Glasgow, UK.

E-Amrit is a one-stop destination for all information on electric vehicles—busting myths around the adoption of EVs, their purchase, investment opportunities, policies, subsidies, etc.

The portal has been developed and hosted by NITI Aayog under a collaborative knowledge exchange programme with the UK government and as part of the UK–India Joint Roadmap 2030, signed by the Prime Ministers of the two countries.

E-Amrit intends to complement initiatives of the government on raising awareness on EVs and sensitizing consumers on the benefits of switching to electric vehicles. In the recent past, India has taken many initiatives to accelerate the decarbonisation of transport and adoption of electric mobility in the country. Schemes such as FAME and PLI are especially important in creating an ecosystem for the early adoption of EVs.

NITI Aayog intends to add more features and introduce innovative tools to make the portal more interactive and user-friendly.

The launch was attended by UK High-Level Climate Action Champion Nigel Topping and NITI Aayog Adviser Sudhendu Jyoti Sinha.

In view of providing all necessary information on electric vehicles (EVs) in the national capital on a single platform, the Delhi government launched a dedicated portal on Thursday.

The government’s Home contains information on EV models available in the market, savings and charging facility among others, Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said at the launch event, adding that the Delhi government wanted to give a user-friendly, interactive and resourceful platform to the public. “This new website will be able to provide all required information to potential EV consumers and keep up to date with sales and daily growing charging infrastructure data too,” Gahlot said.

The website also provides information on location of charging stations and specification of the chargers. Currently, Delhi has 377 charging points at 170 locations and the number is increasing. The website will also provide real-time updated numbers to the users, according to a statement issued by the transport department.

The portal also features ‘EV calculator’ that gives an estimate of the savings on fuel by a specific EV in comparison to its equivalent conventional vehicle.

“It enables the consumers to make a rational choice and identify the cost reduction that an EV can provid,” Gahlot said.

Besides the price, brand and range provided by a given EV, the portal’s dashboard also carries updates on Delhi’s EV ecosystem, including sales and uptake of vehicle in Delhi in real-time. The website also has a feedback and grievance section where stakeholders can give their suggestions.

Especially for grievances and requests, an auto-generated e-mail will be sent to the consumer as well the transport department, the statement mentioned.
