Pointing out that retail finance is holding back the sale of electric vehicles (EVs), a report co-authored by Niti Aayog has suggested their inclusion in RBI’s priority sector lending (PSL) guidelines.

“Financial institutions have an important role to play in accelerating the adoption of EVs in India and supporting the decarbonisation of road transport. RBI’s PSL mandate has a proven track record of improving the supply of formal credit towards areas of national priority. It can provide a strong regulatory incentive for banks and NBFCs to scale their financing to EVs,” said NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant.

The report has highlighted five parameters that may be factored in for priority sector lending. These are: socio-economic potential, livelihood generation potential, scalability, techno-economic viability and stakeholder acceptability.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
