Did government order to stop EV manufacturing in India ?

The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has denied media claims that the government had urged electric two-wheeler producers to refrain from launching any new models. The Ministry clarified that it has not instructed any electric vehicle manufacturers to halt manufacturing.

“A section of media has reported that MoRTH has asked electric two-wheeler manufacturers not to launch new vehicles till instances of fire are investigated,” it said in a tweet late on Thursday. “The Ministry wishes to clarify that there is no such instruction and such reports are unfounded, misleading and far from the truth.”
