Anand Mahindra Funny Response After Electric Scooter Owner Fined For No Pollution Certificate

Anand Mahindra, the CEO of Mahindra, is one of the most prominent users of social media in India and is renowned for never shying away from sharing his opinions. He expressed his thoughts in accordance with social media sites’ guidelines and encompassed a wide range of subjects.

His posts also inspire many people and create a sensation. He has a large following on multiple social media platforms, but busy people like me have a different kind of infatuation with his Twitter handle. Because, on Twitter, he expresses his thoughts in a very articulated way within a limited word limit, which does not take much time.

Lots of people follow him on the social media platform Twitter only for his humorous, informative, and inspiring tweets. This time, the business tycoon used social media to discuss the difficulties that India will face with electric automobiles.

As his company is a leading name in the Indian automobile industry and he himself is an ardent advocate of electronic vehicles in India. His concern is quite genuine and that’s why many people are talking about what he actually tweeted.

A number of new models, including the Mahindra XUV400, are being introduced by Mahindra as it enters the electric vehicle market. On September 8th, a new electric SUV was presented for the Indian market. It will go on sale in January.

Electric scooter owner challaned for not having a pollution certificate

Internet users have recently become concerned with images of the Challan on an electric scooter owner who was penalised for not possessing a Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate, despite the fact that electric scooters are meant to reduce air pollution.

According to reports, a driver without a Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate was fined by the traffic police for operating an Ather electric scooter. Currently, this story is dominating the internet, and many people right now are talking about it.

The electric scooter’s photo and an official Challan receipt were initially posted on social media. Since then, pictures of the Challan have circulated online.

The picture of the Challan receipt for the Ather electric scooter indicates that the Pollution Under Control Certificate was not issued on demand. The owner of the electric scooter would be fined a total of Rs 250 under Section 213(5)(e) of the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988.

Anand Mahindra highlights real concern for electric automobiles in India

In a tweet, Anand Mahindra mentioned the images and referred to them as the “biggest challenge” facing the electric vehicle sector in India. In a sarcastic manner, he said,

“And you thought the biggest challenge to going electric was charging infrastructure?”

The CEO of Ather, Tarun Mehta, also commented with a “sigh” in response to one of the posts.

Because of the bizarreness of the situation and the fact that the pollution certificate is not necessary for electric vehicles, it quickly became popular online. The PUC certifications are only necessary for vehicles that produce fumes. These certifications are essential for vehicles with internal combustion engines that use fossil fuels.

What do you think about this whole matter?
