The Sindh government has resolved to gradually replace conventional government vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs), prioritizing cost savings and environmental protection. Senior Minister Sharjeel Memon emphasized that minimizing public resource usage is a top government priority. The Cabinet Committee on Austerity, chaired by Sharjeel Inam Memon, discussed cost reductions, fuel savings, and the requirements of various departments.
It endorsed purchasing vehicles for the Home Department, Anti-Corruption Establishment, and universities and boards, with a preference for electric vehicles.
