The Chief Secretary examined the framework of the draft electric‑vehicle policy slated for 2026 in Jammu & Kashmir, signalling the state's push towards sustainable mobility.
Srinagar, — The Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir has undertaken a detailed assessment of the framework proposed in the draft electric‑vehicle (EV) policy for the year 2026. The review forms part of the state government's broader strategy to encourage the adoption of electric mobility and reduce reliance on conventional fuels.
According to officials, the draft outlines incentives, infrastructure development plans and regulatory measures aimed at fostering an EV ecosystem across the region. The Chief Secretary’s evaluation is expected to shape the final policy document before it is presented to the state cabinet.
Stakeholders from the transport sector and industry bodies have been invited to provide feedback following the assessment, ensuring that the policy reflects practical challenges and opportunities unique to the hilly terrain of Jammu and Kashmir.
The government anticipates that a robust EV policy will not only curb emissions but also generate new employment avenues in manufacturing, charging infrastructure and related services.
The final version of the policy is slated for release later this year, pending further consultations and approvals.
