India's capital, New Delhi is the most polluted city in the world. The rest of the big cities are giving Delhi some stiff competition. The only solution to our pollution problems in urban areas is to switch to electric modes of transportation.

Elon Musk and his team at Tesla has achieved the seemingly impossible task of making electric cars as compelling as their oil fuelled counterparts. Though some organizations in India are working hard to help India switch to electric transportation, we could save a lot of time by utilising what Tesla has to offer.

To enable mass adoption of electric vehicles in India, the Indian Government must waive off all taxes and customs on such vehicles, atleast until the local manufacturers catch up with the technology. There may be arguments that import of these vehicles can have a negative effect on the economy. However, what good is a slightly stronger economy if we cause irreversible damage to the environment?

I request all Indians to sign this petition to help our future generations live and thrive in this great country.
