India to turn into a hub of e-vehicles – PM Modi

INDIA: India is turning into a hub of e-vehicles, both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, and the country is witnessing a “silent revolution” as the e-vehicles do not make noise, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday.

Speaking at the commemoration of 40 years of Suzuki in India, Modi said the e-vehicles market was expanding in the country at a very fast pace which could not be visualized till a few years ago. The occasion marked the launch of a new manufacturing plant of e-vehicles’ batteries in the western state of Gujarat, and the beginning of a new manufacturing facility of Suzuki in the northern state of Haryana.

“This silent revolution does not only belong to the engineering fraternity, but the country as a whole,” said Modi, adding that the foundation of this revolution was laid in the past eight years.
