Maharashtra’s Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik introduced an electric tractor for farmers, touting its eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness. Registered in Thane, the e-tractor significantly reduces operational costs, requiring only ₹300 to plough one acre compared to ₹1,200-₹1,500 for diesel tractors. The government aims for 20-30% electric vehicles by 2030, offering toll exemptions, subsidies, and potential interest-free loans for e-tractor purchases.
