Tata motors to sell 10000 e vehicles to govt
State-run Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) today said it would procure 10,000 electric vehicles from Tata Motors after a competitive bidding.
Tata Motors will supply the electric vehicles in two phases with 500 e-cars in the first phase in November 2017 and the remaining 9,500 EVs in the second phase, EESL said. “The company (Tata Motors) was selected through an international competitive bidding aimed at increased participation,” it said.
EESL said Tata Motors quoted the lowest price of Rs 10.16 lakh exclusive of GST. The vehicle will be provided for Rs 11.2 lakh, which will be inclusive of GST and comprehensive 5-year warranty, — 25 per cent below the current retail price of a similar e-car with 3-year warranty.
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Nissan had also participated in the tender and bids for Tata Motors and M&M were opened, it added.
EESL claimed that its tender was for the world’s largest single electric vehicle procurement. The company, which comes under the Ministry of Power, further said it would also identify a service provider agency, which will carry out end-to-end fleet management of the procured vehicles for the concerned government customer. — PTI
