Kinetic will be supplying 100 of its e-rickshaws - Kinetic Safar, for Phase 1. Additional vehicles will be procured from other OEMs including Tata Motors, BYD, and TVS amongst others.
Launching this new initiative, CM Devendra Fadnavis said, "We are extremely proud of the commitment corporations like Ola, Mahindra and others are working towards building sustainable transportation for all. In support of this initiative, we have waived off VAT, road tax, and registration for all electric vehicles in the state, and we look forward to building Maharashtra as a model state for others to emulate in the future."

Whereas, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said, "There is an urgent need to re-think and revisit transport infrastructure and fuel dependency, not just in India, but globally. Large scale adoption of electric vehicles can bring the monumental change that we urgently need, and in this endeavour, we launched the 100% EV nation by 2030 mission. It is heartening to see Indian companies such as Ola and Mahindra taking Government's vision forward and in building a strong ecosystem for sustainable mobility. I look forward to working with them to make the 2030 vision a reality."
To further support this project, Ola has announced an investment of over Rs. 50 crore towards EVs and charging infrastructure, starting with 50+ charging points across 4 strategic locations in the city of Nagpur. At the event, Ola unveiled the first of these electric charging stations, which is situated within the airport complex. Furthermore, Ola will also invest in training and educating driver partners on maintenance and use of in-car technology along with its key OEM partners like Mahindra.

Delhi Metro launches all-new Heritage Line
27 May, 2017Source : AFP
'Dream Gates'
1/8
Entering a metro station with the flick of a smart phone may sound like a dream but with the launch of the ITO-Kashmere Gate line on Sunday, it is set to translate into reality.
The metro has installed, what it calls, "Dream Gates" in two stations of this corridor, popularly known as the 'Heritage Line' as it goes underneath old Delhi neighbourhoods such as the Red Fort and Jama Masjid.
What is it
2/8
Commuters using e-wallets like Paytm will be able to enter the Red Fort station. Upon entering the journey details the e-wallet will generate a QR code or a machine-readable code which the special entry gate will read and let the person walk in.
Stations on Heritage Line
3/8
While the Red Fort stations will have two such gates in the pilot phase, commuters, for now, will be able to go to the next station that is Jama Masjid to make their exit in a similar manner through two special gates. The other new station is Delhi Gate.
However, the facility, touted as the first-of-its-kind, may not be available from Sunday itself as the new stations do not have cellular networks or wifi facilities at this point.
Interchange at Kashmere Gate
4/8
With the long-awaited launch of the 5.17-km-long corridor, the Kashmere Gate metro station will become the first station in the DMRC network to have three interchange facilities - passengers will have seamless movement between the Yellow, Red and Violet Lines.
The Kashmere Gate intersection is very close to an inter-state bus terminus, a DTC bus stand and also the Old Delhi Railway station of Northern Railway apart from important Markets like Chandni Chowk, Chawri Bazar and Sadar Bazar.
Extension of Violet line
5/8
The Heritage Line is essentially an extension of the Violet line that runs between Faridabad and ITO presently. It will take considerable load off the Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazar stations of the Yellow Line.

Reducing congestion
6/8
Once the section is launched, residents of the densely- populated area, made up of areas in and around the Mughal seat of power 'Shahjahanabad', will have direct access to commercial centres such as Connaught Place, Janpath, offices in Central Secretariat, and the satellite town of Faridabad.
The Violet line will help in de-congestion also. Soon, there will be five interchanges in this line- Kashmere Gate, Mandi House, Central Secretariat, Kalkaji and Lajpat Nagar.
Stations decked up
7/8
With a number of wide display panels and other exhibits, the three stations have been designed in accordance with the heritage of the area to provide glimpses of its rich past and vibrant present.
The stations have been done in granite with stone cladding in the interiors. The facade of the Red Fort station is similar to the facade of Lal Qila and has been done in red sandstone.
Delhi Metro facts
8/8
'Shahjahanabad', with the Red Fort as its crowning glory, was founded by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the mid 17th century.
After the launch, the total metro network in the city will be 218-km-long and the number of stations will be 164.

Mumbai is becoming such a nice city that some of the photographs shall give you an impression that you are seeing the photograph of some American or European city or Singapore.
