Gadkari Inaugurates India’s First Electric Truck Swapping and Charging Station in Sonipat

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated India’s first commercial electric truck battery swapping and charging station at DICT, Sonipat. He emphasized EV trucks now cost less to run than rail transport, thanks to a 50–60% drop in battery prices. Gadkari promoted biofuels, flexi-engines, and ethanol use to cut pollution and reduce logistics costs, which remain double China’s.
