The government is going to make the necessary legal arrangements to convert diesel and petrol-powered vehicles to electric vehicles. The cabinet meeting held on Sunday decided to make the necessary legal arrangements to convert diesel and petrol vehicles to electric vehicles, government spokesperson Sasmit Pokharel informed.

The government has been adopting a policy of promoting electric vehicles to consume clean energy produced domestically and reduce environmental pollution. This is why the import of EVs has increased rapidly in recent years.

According to the data of the Customs Department, 6,396 units of electric vehicles have been imported from Shrawan to Falgun of the current fiscal year. This is 684 units less than the 8 months of the last fiscal year.

The Customs Department has stated that electric vehicles worth 14.95 billion 7.7 million rupees were imported in the first eight months of this year. Electric vehicles worth 16.64 billion 3.2 million rupees were imported in the same period of the previous fiscal year.
