Based on Uber's history, they'll probably cook up some scheme to fraudulently register combustion vehicles as electric or find some other shady way around the regulation.
India is faaar from any electic car infrastructure. Like another comment said above, it's purely a PR move by the govt.
When the government does something concrete to boost the infrastructure, I will be the first to applaud.
Yeah building roads and highways at record pace are not concrete enough to boost infrastructure right?

"So far, the incumbent government has constructed a total of 28,531 km national highways since FY 2014-15, contrasting with 16,505 km by the previous government up to FY 2013-14, a clear gain of an astounding 12,026 kms, the Financial Express reported."
Either ways, I don't see how the Government can help in this! Isn't this the prerogative of the companies manufacturing their EV to setup? The only place where Government can help is providing land and electric power for these charging stations. That should not be a big deal.
Maybe this was interpreted literally...?
