The project ‘Parivartan’ is a joint effort of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, Gurugram Traffic Police, Haryana Transport Department, and Smart E Company.

This initiative will help in phasing out diesel and CNG autos, which will be replaced with economical and environmentally friendly electric autos. Khattar also inaugurated two other projects, including a water supply project of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development and a waste to energy plant for Sonepat and Panipat.
