Image Source: IANS News Bengaluru, June 1 : The Karnataka government has amended its electric vehicle and energy storage policy to attract more investments in the e-mobility sector across the state, an official said on Tuesday. "As decided at the May 27 state cabinet meeting, the Karnataka Electric Vehicle & Energy Storage policy of 2017 has been amended to give impetus to the electric mobility sector and attract more investments over the next 5 years," said state Industries Department Director R. Ramesh in the order issued on Tuesday. As incentives provided under the 2017 policy were lower than those offered by other states, the amendment will enable 15 per cent capital subsidy on value of fixed assets over 5 equal annual payments for 50 acres of land for EV assembly or manufacturing enterprises.
