India plans a fully electric fleet for its ministers and bureaucrats

The Indian government is about to float a global tender to buy 10,000 battery-powered cars. In the first phase, the government intends to purchase 1,000 four-door electric vehicles in the next six months.

India is the third largest oil guzzler in the world and has pledged to reduce its carbon footprint by 35% by the year 2030.
