The Union Cabinet today is likely to clear a scheme to replace BS-IV buses and trucks in Delhi-NCR with BS-VI commercial electric vehicles. The scheme is likely to be implemented in the region by October-November this year.
According to sources, the Union Cabinet, which is to meet today at 11:30 am, may give a green light to the proposed scheme under which operators may get access to concessional loans for purchasing new BS-VI and electric buses and trucks.
The move is aimed at reducing air pollution, accelerate cleaner mobility, and phase out older, higher-emission commercial vehicles.
