Growdiesel Electric Transportation System

Looking for investing in a high return industry worth USD 3 bn? Know about the safest option to invest in a business in Udaipur.

By investing Rs 22 lakhs, a transportation business opportunity allows you to earn around 7 lakhs per year without any maintenance fuss.

Recently, in a major move to improve the air quality in a phased manner, Patna government decided to ban diesel-based autorickshaws from January 31, 2021. The decision to phase out the most pollution-emitting vehicles was taken in view of the growing contamination of ambient air, which has deteriorated to the worst level in Patna and a few other cities this season.

In fact, India is making a big push for electric vehicles, signalling a turning point in its clean energy policy. In 2017, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that he intended for India to move to 100% electric cars by 2030. That was an ambitious target given that even the UK and France were hoping to phase out conventional combustion-engine cars only by 2040.

Seeing this futuristic business prospect, Growdiesel, India’s No.1 clean-fuel exploration and production organization, launched a whole new ecosystem of the electric auto transportation system called Growdiesel Electric Transportation System (G.E.T.S) for the first time in the country from Udaipur.

“Our electric autos are strongly built with modern features like reverse parking camera, fire extinguisher etc. It can also take elevation up to 15 degree which is 7 times of normal e rickshaw”, he added.

Growdiesel Fuel

If we look at the other countries involved in a similar kind of business, we see China as the world’s largest electric vehicle market. It has the world’s largest network of charging stations for such vehicles and is also the world’s largest manufacturer of batteries. And according to recent figures, sales of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) – including electric and hybrid models – increased substantially in 2018 in China.
