In a significant move toward sustainability, BEML Limited, a leading public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Defence, launched its first fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) at its corporate headquarters in Bengaluru. The event, held on the eve of World Environment Day, underscores the company’s strong commitment to environmental stewardship and supports the Government of India’s ‘Go Green’ initiative.
