  "account": "The National Institution for Transforming India, or NITI Aayog, has introduced a new plan called e-truck, aimed at promoting the adoption of electric trucks in India. The initiative seeks to address challenges such as high vehicle costs, insufficient charging infrastructure, and limited demand that have hindered the growth of electric truck usage. To achieve this, NITI Aayog has unveiled a framework known as the PACT, which provides a roadmap for the successful implementation of the e-truck plan.",
  "summary": "India is pushing to electrify its truck fleet, but high vehicle costs, limited charging infrastructure and weak demand have slowed adoption. Mint explains how Niti Aayog’s new PACT aims to bridge these gaps.",
