New Delhi, February 6

In a step towards ecological sustainability, the Army today inducted six electric buses in its fleet. Eighteen electric cars were purchased last year.

The Army is procuring over 110 electric vehicles (EVs) with an investment of Rs 175 crore. All these are being currently inducted only in Delhi, though plans afoot to expand the fleet of EVs across other regions over the next two-three years.

Another 60 electric buses, 415 cars and 423 motorcycles are under various stages of procurement and are likely to be inducted by December 2025.

The expansion is anticipated to facilitate reduction in logistics loads by minimising fuel requirements and promoting green sustainability.

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).
