The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is planning to celebrate its 65th foundation day on Monday by inducting 65 electric cars into its fleet, signalling the power utility's growing emphasis on sustainable energy use.
The electric cars purchased by the KSEB will replace the oldest among its 180-strong, fossil-fuel fleet, KSEB Chairman and Managing Director B. Ashok said. Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty will flag off the vehicles at the Kanakakkunnu Palace on Monday morning.
The KSEB has christened the event 'Earth Drive: KSEB@65.' After a tour of the capital city, the new vehicles will go on display at the Central Stadium at 2 p.m.
