To restrict the use of natural resources so that it can be used where it is really must and no other possible way is available to provide an option.

"With increased awareness and sensitivity around environment safety and carbon footprints, the timing for the introduction of an electric bus is optimal. Versa is ideally placed to help deliver on our government's commitment to make urban transport efficient and reduce our country's carbon footprint," Venkataraman said.

The government has marked down Rs 1,000 crore for the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan for the next two financial years to boost electric vehicles sales in the country.

"Depending upon the regulations, we expect to launch this vehicle in the country in the next two years.
