"The methods of artificial intelligence and augmented reality have always been the substance of rumination and speculation since very recently, where they’ve started to take very a central role in our lives.
Intelligent technologies today are computer-aided systems that completely control all industrial pipelines. They can operate autonomously and on this account all processes can be managed independently.
Today’s logistics do not resemble one-way storage of goods seen up to a few years ago. This is due to new web technologies that allow an entirely new level of interaction within the moving parts of a given logistics eco-system. As these technologies continue developing at a rapid pace, several partially and fully automated logistic frameworks are already readying for deployment."
"When we compare Industry 4.0 advantages and classic ERP programs advantages We see below points ;
- Space-efficient storage. This will save in warehouse areas and volumes. Ex. Kardex Remstar applications, vertical storage solutions
- ERP’s are integrated warehouse management software.
So the error will be absolutely minimal. Prevention of losses due to lack of communication in monolithic systems that have one point of failure.
- Automatic and controlled product circulation. This will allow for increased work safety and fewer work accidents. This will naturally result in risk reduction resulting from controllability, especially in hazardous material logistics.
- Line feed, standby modules. So perfect stock management, “0” inventory loss.
- Automatic finished product warehouses. This will allow for unmanned warehouses, fast vehicle loading and unloading systems that can work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Cellular transfer storage systems.
For distribution centers and warehouse management systems that implement Industry 4.0 technologies, data needs to be collected, analyzed, acted on, and secured in order to partake in the data driven decision-making Industry 4.0 advertises."

Short Workshop on Transforming Ideas to Intellectual PropertyInnomantra
“Intellectual Property is the Cinderella of modern organisation by revealing her true value swept her to prominence”
Every organization form a startup to multinational has a reason for being. It might be a unique ability to offer a particular product or service, or it might arise from having been in the right place at the right time with certain set of capabilities. But at its core, your organisation probably relies on Intellectual Property (IP) far more than one can imagine.
The knowledge and their ability to innovate are frequently the differentiator between organizations that succeed and those that fail. Physical assets and traditional sources of competitive advantage such as manufacturing capability or location have far less relevance. The value of many of the world’s largest organisations is increasingly vested in knowledge-based, innovation driven and intangible assets. An economy based on these assets is often known as ‘Innovation Economy’.
The document discusses amplified storytelling as a way to ensure all communities have a voice on the global stage. It summarizes suggestions from players in a game on ways to amplify storytelling, such as extending the StoryCorps model, adding foresight methodologies, and providing tools to record and share stories across multiple media platforms. The players provided micro-forecasts on specific initiatives, like illuminating poverty through shared stories, adapting oral traditions for new digital formats, and using inmate storytelling for crime prevention.
The document introduces a new product called Kleenexpod that aims to keep the user clean in an unconventional yet practical way by combining two unusual objects and allowing it to be clipped to the arm for adventures, as it seeks to improve on less practical solutions like sweaty towels and tissues carried in bags.
A Study on Customer Perception of Electric Vehicle and Its Impact on Traditio...ijtsrd
India traditionally has been belligerent to any changes. But with the need to curb environmental emissions it has been identified that there is a need to switch from ICE vehicles to Electric Vehicles. This switch is eminent and a necessity in order to fight the climatic and environmental changes which is affecting all living life whether in land, water or air. It is a fact that with substantial shift in the automobile industry towards Electric Vehicles disruption in the automobile supply Chain in imminent. It is true that for those suppliers who are heavily leveraged and unable to adapt it could spell a disastrous financial troubles ahead. This study is an attempt to identify how production and supply of electric vehicles will impact the traditional supply chain in India and suggest ways and methods to incorporate the changes. An attempt has also been made in this study to identify the perception of individuals regarding Electric Vehicle. Because it is the people's choice which will lead to boon or bane for this segment of automobiles.

The market is witnessing tremendous technological advancements in the last few years due to which, the current electric market is gaining traction. The market is quickly shifting towards highly efficient electric motor systems.
Battery technologies are central to delivering significant advances in a wide range
of industries, from electric vehicles to renewable power. This has catapulted
battery technology to the top of the priority list for many players, leading to a huge
boom in investment, as companies try to build key positions in the market.
However, this investment frenzy threatens to lead companies to rush forward
without asking themselves key questions. What will the landscape look like when
the dust settles? Which technology will dominate the battery space in the future,
and what are the potential scenarios for future growth? How do I (as a chemical
company, utility, investor, battery manufacturer, automotive manufacturer, mobility
provider or government / regulator) prepare for the future and position myself to
benefit?
There is no simple answer to these questions, as they depend on a range of
factors, from the speed of new innovation to the ability to reduce costs of existing
technologies.

With global automakers doubling down on pledges to offer EVs, current infrastructure needs to catch up nationwide. This will soon be part of our landscape for future highways, schools, airports, and every property type. Property managers will be expected to offer EV charging stations as an amenity to tenants, no different than providing free coffee or internet.
An electric powered vehicle or battery electric vehicle use chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs for power. As all the power is derived from batteries therefore, it does not require any combustion engine for propulsion. Battery Electric vehicles include scooters, rail cars, bicycle, forklifts, buses and cars. The advantages in battery storage technology have also positively affected the electric vehicle battery market.

Tesla offers a vertically integrated product that is mostly manufactured in-house, reducing dependence on suppliers. This allowed Tesla to avoid shortages affecting other automakers and scale rapidly. In contrast, Ford traditionally bought many components from suppliers in a "catalog engineering" model. Tesla's strategy helped it become profitable and reach high production volumes, while Ford and others face supply chain issues. Tesla also uses an open patent strategy to help accelerate sustainable energy but still enforces patents against companies that don't agree to its terms.
The automobile industry in India is the tenth largest in the world and is expected to overtake China. It contributes 3.1% to India's GDP and is dominated by domestic companies. Two-wheelers form the major share of domestic sales while passenger vehicles lead exports. Key players in different segments include Hero, Maruti, Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. The industry has experienced major changes over the years including delicensing, increased competition and diversification. While the industry is currently in a slowdown, factors like rising incomes, exports and innovation are expected to boost growth in the long run.
Electric vehicles and electric utilities – a clear opportunity with many shapesCarlo Stella
While several stakeholders are supportive of the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, we have looked specifically at electric utilities to understand the opportunities that such a change in the transportation landscape can generate, and define the key questions to be addressed in order to embrace them. We have identified four business models – by no means evolutionary – that can be looked at independently, and eventually combined to fit the company’s strategy and the specific market conditions (e.g., regulation, competition, ecosystem, customer readiness). We strongly believe electric utilities are ideally positioned to leverage the opportunities offered by the adoption of electric vehicles on a mass-market scale, but they need to act fast, as many other players are addressing the same opportunity

Project One: Executive SummaryProblem
With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.
Tesla's patent portfolio focuses heavily on batteries and charging technologies, which comprise about 60% of its patents. While Tesla has a smaller overall portfolio than large automakers like Toyota and GM, it has significant patents related to battery technology like lithium-ion batteries and fast charging. Tesla's emphasis on batteries and charging differs from other large players, which focus more broadly on technologies like hybrid vehicles, internal combustion engines, and fuel cells in addition to batteries.
Two-Wheelers Electric vehicles Outlook in India | Report RedSeer
The document discusses the history and growth of electric two-wheelers (E2Ws) in India. It begins with the global origins of electric vehicles in the late 18th/early 19th century. It then covers the key milestones in India, including the first EVs introduced in 1996, government initiatives like FAME I and II starting in 2015, and the recent rapid growth since 2017. The adoption of E2Ws is seen as pivotal to reducing emissions and fuel imports in India given its large two-wheeler market size. The total EV penetration in India reached around 3.2% in 2022, with E2Ws representing around 4% of that figure.
The automotive industry plays a major economic role in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) of Ontario, Canada. Three major automakers operate six assembly plants in the GTA, employing over 63,000 people directly and supporting an estimated 89,000 additional jobs. In 2004, the automotive industry contributed $3.3 billion to the GTA economy. Various strategic initiatives have been launched to support the industry's competitiveness through skills training, innovation programs, infrastructure investments, and environmental technologies research.

Building Moonshots
In today's rapidly evolving world, many industries have experienced disruption or are on the cusp of one. While organisations often discuss the importance of innovation and disruption for growth, it's not uncommon to find ourselves defaulting to familiar patterns and maintaining the status quo. To thrive amidst this change, businesses of all sizes must adopt strategic foresight not as an option but as an essential strategy.
Developing strategic foresight enables organizations to anticipate and proactively respond to future challenges, ensuring they remain adaptable and resilient in an ever-changing landscape. By moving beyond "business as usual" thinking and embracing innovative approaches, companies can position themselves for long-term success.

Getting ‘BOLD INNOVATION’ Right
By Neelima Joseph & Lokesh Venkataswamy
The element ‘SUPPORT’ finds relevance in the innovation management system. To manage innovation effectively, the organization should jump in and facilitate the required resources for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continual improvement of the innovation management system. The resources come in different forms such as Time, Knowledge, Financial resources, Infrastructure, and Human resources. For effective implementation of the standard, organizations are responsible for determining, providing, and managing the right people. Organizations must identify and develop teams with diverse backgrounds, to enhance cross-pollination and leverage the collective competence of the organization (ISO 56002:2019).
The element 'SUPPORT' encompasses the following sub-clauses, which are the different ways in which support could be extended:
Innomantra's Viewpoint - Casting Innovation Leadership in Future Organisation Innomantra
Innovation has been referred to as a ‘Short Skirt’ that’s been in and out of fashion: popular in good times and tossed back into the closet in downturns as quoted by a leading consulting firm, today; it's different as it combines art, science, system, and people however with increased uncertainty the need for Innovation and managing Innovation is best achieved with leadership and planning.
By aligning to ISO 56000 Series-Innovation Management Standard framework, 'LEADERSHIP' establishes an innovation vision, strategy, and policy, including the necessary roles and responsibilities based on the organization's context. Leadership is one of the factors that affect innovation in organizations.
Innomantra viewpoint -The End of CXOs Innovation Peekaboo Innomantra
Innovation has been a lifeline of many organizations for survival and growth, but the CXOs and leadership had a ‘peekaboo’ experience with ad hoc activities and very thin consistency in involvement of its people. As they were trying to structure by connecting the jigsaw pieces of innovation in a multicultural business and stakeholder environment to achieve an exponential impact in the age of triple-bottom-line Profits, People, and Planet.

Executive Summary
The purpose of this study is to analyze the importance given by selected major automobile
companies in the electric car segment to innovation, based on their Patent Portfolios.
Apart from providing an account of innovation and technological development taking
place in the automobile, specifically to electric car segment, the analysis of the patenting
activity provides an insight into the current trends in the intellectual property generation
activity. The study summarizes results of the research that was conducted on Toyota
Motor Corporation, Tesla Motor Inc., The Ford Motor Company, Nissan Motor Company
Ltd and General Motors Company.
This report covers filing trends of the above mentioned companies along with status of
Patents, International Patent Classification and Priority Date. The study also provides the
filing trends and status in the field of engineering to which they belong, along with details
of all Patents filed by these companies since 2008.
The electric car industry is still in the nascent stage of growth. The electric car market is
majorly concentrated in US and Japanese market. There is an increasing trend in the
formation of Joint Ventures in research of electric battery technology by the automobile
companies. Electronic and electronic components manufacturing companies like
Samsung are filing patents in the electric car segment. This shows that electronic
companies are planning to enter the electric automobile market. Developing low cost
batteries, providing long range and government support are essential for success of
mass-market electric vehicle industry.
The major automobile companies have filed patents in electrical machinery and
transport segments. This shows that the investment is majorly done in battery and power
train technologies. Though Tesla motors started recently in 2003, it is competing with
top automobile companies like Toyota, Nissan, Ford and General Motors which were
established nearly 100 years ago. Tesla patents are referred by all the major automobile
companies and automobile component manufacturing companies. Tesla motors are
followed by General motors which show that GM considers Tesla a direct competitor
for the company in the electric car segment. Tesla motors did not cite any other patents
filed by other automobile companies. This shows that Tesla motors is leading other
automobile companies in technology research. Toyota motors have cited patents of all the
other major automobile companies which shows that Toyota is following technological
research of all the other major automobile companies.

11. Introduction
Automotive industry is one of the key sectors for all major countries in the world. The
automobile sales in 2013 have grown by 4.2% over sales in 2012 accounting to 82.84
million vehicles. The US (7.6%) and China have recorded highest growth in sales of cars
and trucks in the world. 1
The first electric vehicle was produced in 1930s. But the use of electric vehicles (EVs) was
replaced by petroleum-fueled internal combustion engines (ICEs) in 1900s. Because of
increasing and volatile fuel prices, deteriorating urban air quality and climate change,
renewed interest in the electric vehicles, stricter fuel regulations and to mitigate risk
from petroleum price fluctuations, the technology shift is accepted by the automobile
manufacturers. Alternate technologies include Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), Plug-in
Hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), Hydrogen cars
etc. Various governmental poli¬cies around the world are providing financial incentives
for vehicle electrification, setting standards for lower fleet-average fuel consumption and
even mandating the introduction of electrified vehicles.
Electric vehicles are rapidly emerging as a viable alternative to conventionally fuelled
vehicles. They are found to be one of the most promising ways to reduce emission of
greenhouse gases and other pollutants. The increasing demand in sale of electric and
plug-in hybrid vehicles has yet to create an impact. Though the sales of plug-in electric
vehicles have increased from 53,000 vehicles in 2012 to 90,000 vehicles in 2013, it
accounts for only 0.5 to 1% of the total cars and trucks sold in US in 2013.2
Electric
vehicles are mostly used as second vehicles by the people.

12. Investment in Research and Development acts as a good indicator for technological inno-
vation. Spending in EV RD spiked in US in 2009 due to economic stimulus and it spiked
in Japan and Germany in 2010 and 2011 respectively. There was significant increase in
RD in China in 2012. Within RD expenditure, there is relatively more focus on battery
and fuel cell RD. There is also significant funding in demonstrations of electric vehicles
reflecting government’s desire to monitor and learn from initial infrastructure and vehicle
deployment.3
Developing affordable batteries offering long driving range is the biggest
challenge to increasing sales of plug-in electric vehicles. Investment in battery and fuel
cell RD results in significant drop in battery development costs reducing cost barrier
for mass-market EV deployment. Four energy-storage technologies, Lead-Acid (Pb-Acid),
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries as well as Ultra capaci-
tors are used in current HEVs and are the only technologies of inter¬est for the foresee-
able future (10+ years).
There is an increasing trend in favor of filing of patents and safeguarding Intellectual
Property in electric vehicle industry by major automobile companies. The major areas
are the Electric machinery and Transport, together accounting for % of all patents filed
indicating an emphasis in improving battery and powertrain technology and conforming
to stricter environmental norms. This trend is only going to increase with environmental
concern becoming not only an obligation and responsibility but also a value statement
in itself.

13. The Automobile Sector- Segment-wise Market Share 4
About half of the world’s vehicles are produced by top nine manufacturers in U.S. The
electric automobile market is mainly dominated by developed markets like US, Japan,
France etc. The electric vehicle market in China is also steadily increasing. The sales of
electric vehicles in US and Japan cover 62% of the global market.5 Nissan Leaf and
Chevy Volt are top selling electric cars in the world. PHEVs have more market momentum
compared to BEVs indicating customers’ desire for fuel flexibility for greater range. There
has been recent increase in sales of BEVs like Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S etc.

15. Scope of the Study Research Methodology
This study provides an insight into the Patent Portfolio of key global Automobile companies,
namely Toyota Motor Corporation, Tesla Motor Inc., The Ford Motor Company, Nissan
Motor Company Ltd. and General Motors Company.
The analysis looks at all the Patents applied by the above mentioned companies in
USA. This includes Patents at all stages – application, publication and granted - of their
lifecycle. For each company, the following data is presented in addition to the complete
list of patents filed:
• International Patent Classification (IPC), category wise Status
• Granted Patents and Pending Applications
• Timeline of Patent filings, year wise
• Citation analysis
Apart from a comparative look at these five Automobile companies and an insight into
the areas of possible patent generation, this report also highlights certain key aspects of
patenting for Automobile companies in the world.
Patent databases such as Thomson Reuter’s Delphion and several other Patent information
sites mentioned below were searched for Patents filed by companies indicated. As on
31st March 2014, records of all the Patent documents filed by the above mentioned
companies were extracted and analyzed. The results of the search have been tabulated
in Exhibits. The entire process was verified using multiple Patent databases to ensure
accuracy of the results. The Patent Database of United States Patent and Trademarks
Office (USPTO) were searched for ‘Live Patents’, and these results are also recorded in
the report.
It is important to note that the Patent applications filed during the last 18 months are
not reflected in the report since Patent databases only include patents in the publication
phase. In most cases, patent applications get published 18 months after the date of filing
as per the Patent filing norms except in the case of early publications, where they may
appear in the patent databases a little sooner. For this reason, all graphs indicate data
until and including the year 2008 only, to ensure uniform comparison across companies.

countries outside Japan. By the late 1990s, however, Nissan was struggling, and in 1999
it entered into a partnership with the French carmaker Renault.
Of the major manufacturers, Nissan has been the most aggressive in promoting all-
electric vehicles, not only in the U.S., but also around the world. By the end of 2012,
production of the Nissan Leaf and its battery pack was shifted from Japan to Smyrna for
the U.S. market, lowering production costs and better positioning Nissan to trim $6,400
from the base price of the 2013 model. Nissan also developed a more heat resistant
battery to address concerns of premature degradation and range loss in extremely hot
climates. The all-electric e-NV200 commercial van is scheduled for 2014 and a luxury
EV is planned with the Infiniti LE sedan. For the 2014 model year, Nissan also introduced
new hybrid technology with the Nissan Pathfinder.

companies which would pave the way for understanding their respective technological
advancements and their Intellectual Property enforcement capabilities related to Patents.
The electric car market is majorly concentrated in the US and the Japanese market. The
major automobile companies have filed patents in electrical machinery and transport
segments. This shows that the investment is majorly in done in battery and power train
technologies. Though Tesla motors started recently in 2003, it is competing with top
automobile companies like Toyota, Nissan, Ford and General Motors which weare
established nearly 100 years ago. Tesla patents are referred by all the major automobile
companies and automobile component manufacturing companies. Tesla motors are
followed by General motors which show that GM considers Tesla a direct competitor for
the company in electric car segment. Tesla motors did not cite any other patents filed by
other automobile companies. This shows that Tesla motors is leading other automobile
companies in technology research.

45. Appendix – I: Electric Car Market in India.
India is the world’s second-largest two wheeler manufacturer and fourth-largest producer
of commercial vehicles. Two wheelers dominate production volumes; in FY13, the segment
accounted for about three quarters of the total automotive production in the country.
Production of automobiles in India is growing at CAGR of 11.8 percent over 2005-13.
Passenger cars are the fastest growing segment, representing a CAGR of 12.9 percent6
.
Cost and Quality remain as bottlenecks of India’s auto industry in theto global marketplace.
Global OEMs like General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Hyundai have expanded their
operations over the past years. While Ford and Toyota continue to leverage India as a
source of components, Hyundai and Suzuki have acknowledged India as a key market
for a compact-car segment.
The electric vehicle market in India is nascent but growing rapidly. The total number of
electric two-wheelers on road is about 400,000 and about 1,500 electric passenger cars
in India. The availability of skilled engineers, low manufacturing cost and access to both
hardware and software uniquely positions India as a pioneer market for Electric vehicles.
So far only 2 companies were involved in Electric vehicle development in India, Mahindra
Reva (formerly Reva electric) and Tata Motors. The only major manufacturer and seller
of EV passenger cars in India is Mahindra-Reva, which opened a new plant and plans to
launch several new models to the Indian and overseas market. Similarly, the only seller
of passenger hybrid cars is Toyota Kirloskar. Lohia Auto manufactures electric 3-wheelers,
while there are quite a few electric two-wheeler manufacturers including Hero Electric
and Electrotherm. The Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) estimates two-
wheeler makers and importers sold about 100,000 EV units in 2011, which would be
about one-tenth of the total scooters sold.
The combination of high fuel prices and government support is steadily increasing the
demand of Electric vehicles in India. In 2008, Government of India hads waived the
excise duty on electric vehicles and State governments have announced tax cuts to reduce
pollution levels in cities. Also in 2008, the Delhi government announced the subsidy of
29.5 percent discount for the small electric car Reva. Chandigarh government offered
a subsidy of 15 percent on battery-operated vehicles. Bangalore government gave 4
percent VAT waiver for the initial five years after the launch of the car and on registration
costs. The Government support is essential for success of electric vehicles. This is indicated
from the drop in sales of electric car Reva after the subsidy provided by the government
of Delhi wais cancelled.

46. The major challenges for implementation and adoption of electric technology in India
are:
• Needs Appreciation for definite guidelines and regulations and difficulties in
physical implementation.
• Needs Appreciation for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and quality and
availability of grid power.
• Low domestic availability of advanced electronics and controls and high-cost
of battery technology.
• Requires large investments and therefore considered high risk by stakeholders.
• Consumer acceptance and increasing awareness of the consequences of
buying EVs.
Government Incentives:
• In August 2012, the Government of India approved a Rs. 230 billion plan to
spur electric and hybrid vehicle production over the next eight years, setting
itself an ambitious target of 6 million vehicles by 2020.
• On the recommendations of the Prime Minister’s Group on Technology –
Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India, a core group was constituted by
the Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) in 2009 and a very elaborate
policy document was prepared. DHI took approval from the Government for
setting up the fully empowered apex body at a very senior level with
members drawn from all stakeholders, and for putting this initiative which
will encompass all policy related matters on various issues on a mission
mode approach.
• Accordingly, the National Council on Electric Mobility (NCEM) was set up.
Under the NCEM, a National Board on Electric Mobility (NBEM) was
proposed which would go into greater details of the various projects and
initiatives that need to be undertaken under this endeavor. Both the Council
and Board are serviced by a specialized technical secretariat seated in
National Automotive Testing and RD Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) and
the National Automotive Board (NAB).
• In the 2012 Union Budget, the Finance Minister announced a concessional
excise duty of 10% for fuel cell or hydrogen cell technology. The excise duty
on a CNG conversion kit has been reduced to 5%, while import of hybrid
parts has been exempted from custom duty and a concessional rate of 5%
excise has been proposed to incentivize their domestic production.
• Several initiatives including battery-operated Green rickshaws in New Delhi
and the Tata Starbus range of buses including hybrid CNG low-floor buses
have been introduced. Delhi has also subsidized sales by giving buyers a
15% rebate on the price of the vehicle.
