( SHRI  R.K. SINGH)

(a) to (c) : Energy  Efficiency  Services  Limited  (EESL),  a  joint  venture  company  of  Public  Sector Undertakings (PSUs) under the Ministry of Power has concluded the procurement process of 10,000 e-cars under the National E-Mobility Programme that was launched on 7th  March 2018. These e-cars are  provided  to  Government  Departments  on  lease/outright  purchase  basis  to  replace  the  existing fleet of petrol and diesel vehicles taken on lease by them.

Till  date,  652  e-cars  have  been  deployed for  various  Government Departments across India by EESL along with commissioning of 295 AC and 161 DC captive chargers in their premises to charge these e-cars. State-wise list of e-cars deployed and chargers commissioned is at Annexure.

As per the Letter of Award (LoA) issued on 13thOctober 2017 (for 400 e-cars) and 28th February  2018  (for  9,600  e-cars),  the  e-cars  were  to  be  supplied  by  30thNovember  2017  and 31stJanuary  2019  respectively.  However,  the  demand  for  e-cars  has  been  less  than  estimated. Therefore, the date of supply  has been extended to 31stJanuary 2020.

(d) & (e) : All the EVs leased by EESL are in operation for the last eighteen (18) months and being used by Government Departments. The performance of the deployed EVs including mileage, is as per the specifications indicated in the LoA.
