Lot of people dislike me and are trying all sorts of tricks and nuisance because they don’t want the electric vehicle mission to happen. Some industry executives have alleged that he tweaked norms to award contracts in the electric vehicle and charging station tenders floated by Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL). “I was on the board of Tata Telecommunications, Tata Teleservices, Mahindra Electric, Shaskun, Polaris and others. EESL also floated a tender around the same time to procure 4,000 electric vehicle chargers to create an ecosystem for deployment of the electric cars. This tender for 300 chargers was finally scrapped and EESL floated a fresh tender for 250 chargers which is still in the process.
