Maruti along with Tata Motors and M&M have formed an alliance to jointly develop parts for an electric-hybrid car
  • The tripartite alliance, which is open-ended and technical in nature, entails an investment of Rs 22-25 crore
  • The govt will invest an equal amount under the 'faster adoption and manufacturing of hybrid and electric vehicles' programme it announced last year
  • Developing an all-electric or hybrid car that is both practical and affordable at the same time, though, is an expensive affair
  • The cost of batteries, which have to be imported from China, makes up for 50 per cent of the vehicle cost
  • A full charge of 10 units will power electric cars for 120 km but cost only Rs 60 - a fraction of the cost paid for petrol or diesel cars. Read More
