Speaking on the occasion, Mr. B Sriramlu, Honorable Minister of Transport Department and Tribal Welfare, Karnataka said, “It is delightful moment for me to be here today to inaugurate Piaggio’s new Bangalore EV experience centre. With the centre’s PLI scheme to boost electric vehicles segment, Karnataka is also fully committed to switch towards green mobility and we thank Piaggio for taking a step ahead in fulfilling this mission. The Karnataka government has also planned to come up with a high-tech ‘Karnataka Electric Mobility Research and Innovation Centre’ for supporting e-mobility in the state. The EV support infrastructure has been growing and we have targeted to setup 500 charging stations in Karnataka. The state has registered 25,725 EV beneficiaries under government’s FAME II scheme making it one of the leading states in India to avail the same, hence, enhancing EV production market.
