The government is set to introduce the Electric Vehicle (EV) Industry Development Policy 2025 this year, aiming to promote environmentally friendly transportation and accelerate industrial growth in Bangladesh.
The policy, being formulated by the Ministry of Industries, outlines a comprehensive framework to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and create new employment opportunities while transforming the EV sector into a sustainable and competitive industry.
According to officials, the draft policy has already been completed and published for stakeholder feedback. Sultana Yasmin, Joint Secretary of the Policy, Law, and International Cooperation wing of the ministry, said the policy is expected to be finalized within this year following consultations.
“The use of electric vehicles is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. This policy aims to enable domestic production of EVs and their components,” she said.
