Imphal, November 09 2022: Chief Minister N Biren Singh released the 'Manipur Electric Mobility Policy, 2022' at the launch of a "2-day Awareness-cum-Workshop on Electric Vehicles (EVs), Charging Infrastructure and Renewable Hybrid Energy in North-East India" at City Convention Centre, Imphal today.

Speaking as the chief guest of the inaugural programme, the Chief Minister said, "The Manipur Electric Mobility Policy, 2022 was prepared to embrace and accelerate the pace of adoption of electric vehicles.

The policy targets to facilitate adoption of at least 20 percent EVs in the State by 2026" .

Incentives are also provided under the policy in the form of waiver of upto 30 percent in Motor Vehicle Tax at the time of registration of newly purchased electric vehicles (EVs), the Chief Minister said adding that the Government is considering giving priority to EVs while purchasing vehicles for Government Departments.

N Biren Singh highlighted the rapid growth and urbanization over the years and also stressed that with increasing population and improving standard of living, vehicle ownership has increased significantly.

Increased traffic leads to increasing vehicular emission that affects ambient air quality.

Carbon emission from petrol and diesel vehicles is a main cause of concern for urban population and their health, the Chief Minister said.

Carbon emissions from vehicles also contribute to climate change, he said, explaining the importance of electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles are a prominent solution being adopted globally to address the problems of vehicular pollution, he said.

N Biren also said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is also taking numerous steps to promote electric vehicles in the country.

Further stating that the Prime Minister had also recently set India on a path to achieve Net-Zero Carbon by 2070, the Chief Minister also stressed that Government of India's scheme such as "Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME)" aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuel and address issues of vehicular emissions.

The Chief Minister also said that awareness through workshops and collaboration with CSIR-IIP (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research�Indian Institute of Petroleum) would help enhance adoption of electric vehicles in the State and setting up required infrastructure.

Transport Minister Khashim Vashum, who was also present, said several schemes and initiatives have been launched to boost demand for electric vehicles.

The Centre under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has been taking up great efforts to develop India as a global leader in the EV sector, he said.

He also highlighted initiatives taken up by the State Government under the leadership of Chief Minister N Biren Singh to boost adoption of EVs and said the Transport Department is signing an MoU today with CSIR-IIP Dehradun to engage the institute as advisor to the department in e-vehicle related matters such as skilling of officers, and other technical matters as per the need of the State.

His Department is also in contact with TATA Power for establishing e-vehicle charging stations at Imphal and along National and State Highways including Imphal-Dimapur, Imphal-Moreh, Imphal-Jiribam, Imphal-Aizawl etc.

Additional Chief Secretary Planning Vumlunmang Vualnam said, "E-vehicle is a new concept.

Its time has come and the Government of Manipur is also aware of it" .

The inaugural function was also attended by Chairman Tourism Corporation of Manipur MLA Karam Shyam, Chief Secretary Dr Rajesh Kumar, CSIR-IIP, Dehradun Director Dr Anjan Ray, Chief Scientist, HoD, AFLAD, CSIR-IIP Poonam Gupta, Principal Scientist CSIR-IIP Dr Atul Ranjan, Principal Scientist CSIR-IIP Dr Robindro Lairenlakpam, among others.
