Answer: D) Nagpur Explanation: With India's pledge to go all electric by 2030, Nagpur will be the first city in the country to adopt electric cabs as the country moves a step closer to its goal. The pilot project will see around 200 e-cabs in Nagpur with the local body to provide for the charging stations across the city. Currently, Mahindra and Honda are few of the car-manufacturers who have electric and hybrid vehicles in their line-up.

Countries such as France, Netherland and Belgium have already started to adopt electric and hybrid vehicles.
