MUMBAI (Reuters) - Ride-hailing firm Uber will partner with automaker Mahindra and  Mahindra  to pilot electric vehicles on its platform in India  the two companies said on Friday  at a time when the government is pushing to have all new vehicles electrified by 2030.
“Our collaboration with Uber is an important next step to help accelerate the large scale adoption of electric vehicles on share mobility platforms and meet the nation’s vision for EVs ” Mahindra’s managing director  Pawan Goenka  said.
As part of the deal  Uber will initially subsidize the cost of electric cars for its drivers and  Mahindra  will also provide finance  insurance and after-sales service. The two companies will also work with public and private firms to set up charging stations for the cars in Hyderabad.
 Mahindra  has previously said  it  would invest 6 billion rupees ($93 million) over the next two to three years to develop electric vehicles.  The carmaker  is currently working on two electric passenger vehicles  including one with  its  South Korean unit Ssangyong Motor Co  Goenka said.
 Mahindra  also has a partnership with Ola in which  the ride-hailing company  agreed last year to procure 40 000 vehicles  including electric variants.
