India Launches First-Ever e-Truck Incentive Scheme Under PM E-DRIVE Initiative

The e-Truck Incentive Scheme is part of the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) introduction initiated by India. Through the scheme, the government hopes to fast-track the uptake of electric trucks (e-truck) in the country, which results in cleaner transport systems, lower logistics prices, and helps the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing industry.
