THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:
State-owned Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) – an entity under the Ministry of Power, Government of India, has launched an electric two-wheeler programme in Kerala. The programme is custom-designed for employees of the Government of Kerala, and vehicles are made available by CESL through its relationship with vehicle manufacturers.
All vehicles will benefit from the Central Government’s subsidy programme FAME II, which allows customers to access a significant subsidy that brings electric vehicles closer to the cost of their fossil fuel equivalents.
This programme is carried out in collaboration with the Energy Management Centre (EMC), Government of Kerala. The Scheme was inaugurated by the Minister for Electricity K. Krishnankutty, in the presence of MLA, V.K. Prasanth, Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram Corporation Arya Rajendran amongst other dignitaries.
