Simultaneously, we have received expressions of interest from many to become the distributor in the local region for our e-Tractors,” said Pankaj Goyal, Co-Founder & COO of AutoNxt Automation.

In a panel discussion during the expo, Pankaj Goyal also presented a talk on the Punjab EV Policy, wherein he made a reference to include e-tractors in the EV policies and to create provisions for incentives to promote faster adoption of e-tractors in the state.

PHDCCI says that through this expo, it aims to bring all the relevant stakeholders on a common platform for the development of future-ready and environmentally sustainable mobility products and technologies, besides giving a platform to the public to enhance knowledge on EV products and government policies.

Though the Centre and state governments have already made various policies on the sale and purchase of electric vehicles, the public lacks awareness about the benefits that can be attributed to lack of advertisements.

The expo attracted saw a large turnout of people eager to gain an understanding into the different Electric Vehicle segments ranging from e-rickshaw to luxury EV cars, electric LCVs, e-buses and e-Tractors.

The occasion was graced by Dushyant Chautala, Deputy Chief Minister of Haryana, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann’s wife and Cabinet Minister for State Dr. Inderbir Singh Nijjar. The ministers pushed for faster deployment of EVs in the region. They also tried their hands on the electric self-driving tractor.
