After sending show cause notices to the electric scooter manufacturers for fire incidents, the central govt is now reportedly planning to impose monetary penalties for using unsafe batteries in those vehicles that led to such safety incidents. While the government doesn’t plan to take any severe action given EV is a nascent industry, it believes that a penalty would “act as a deterrent for companies compromising on quality”, as per report.
