“This Electric Vehicle Policy is the country’s most progressive policy and we hope that 5 lakh new electric vehicles will be registered in the next five years. An ‘EV (Electric Vehicle) Cell’ will be established to implement the Electric Vehicle Policy,” he added.

An AQI between 0-50 is considered good, 51-100 is satisfactory, 101-200 moderate, 201-300 poor, 301-400 very poor and 401-500 is marked as severe/hazardous. (ANI)
