  • Amritsar Municipal Corporation aims to replace old diesel autos with electric ones

Reducing pollution while supporting drivers, ASCL promises subsidies and loans for transitioning from diesel to electric autos.

In a mission towards transforming Amritsar into a Smart City, the Amritsar Municipal Corporation has ignited a movement to replace outdated diesel autos with cutting-edge electric counterparts. This shift isn’t only about cleaner transportation; it’s a big step towards being eco-friendly and focusing on sustainable urban growth.

To amplify the change and uplift the families of both electric and diesel auto drivers, the Amritsar Smart City Limited (ASCL) has joined hands with the Sun Foundation. Together, they are offering skill development courses that promise to enrich the lives of these families, boosting their skillsets and employability.

CEO Sandeep Rishi envisions a brighter future not just for the auto drivers, but for their entire families. The initiative doesn’t merely stop at training; it extends to certification and job placement, ensuring that the acquired skills translate into tangible employment opportunities.

By seamlessly transitioning from diesel to electric autos, drivers not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also become eligible for an array of benefits including subsidies and loan facilities. This amalgamation of technology and sustainability creates a win-win scenario for the drivers and the city’s ecological future.
