The correct answer is C. FAME.
FAME, or Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, is a government scheme that was launched in 2015 to promote the use of electric vehicles in India. The scheme provides subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles, as well as for the development of charging infrastructure.
Under the FAME scheme, the central government has recently sanctioned 670 electric buses to Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and Chandigarh. These buses will be used to provide public transportation in these cities.
The FAME scheme is a part of the government’s efforts to reduce air pollution and improve air quality in India. Electric vehicles are a cleaner and more efficient alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles, and the FAME scheme is expected to help reduce the number of polluting vehicles on Indian roads.
