India has put in place a game plan for Electric Vehicles and their components like batteries to ensure clean cities, reduce imports and utilise solar power.

This was stated by NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant while speaking through a video link in Ahmedabad today.

Mr Kant said domestic battery manufacturing for electric vehicles provides a massive market opportunity and also quickens the transition to such environment-friendly transport which is vital to help combat pollution, congestion, strengthen energy security and create jobs.
