The Ayodhya Development Authority has collaborated with a private company to run the service, said a state government spokesman.
An e-cart service is already operational in Ayodhya since last Deepotsav. It has a seating capacity for six passengers. This service is for elderly who visit Hanuman Garhi and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi and other sites.
In the next phase, 200 EVs will be introduced in Ayodhya for local service and for travellers landing at the Ayodhya airport.
With the inauguration of the Ram Temple, Ayodhya is set to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in India in the coming years. In order to host and accommodate in big numbers, the city is getting a massive makeover.
Ayodhya has already got its new international airport and a revamped railway station with all the modern, world-class facilities. The city roads are being widened and new hotels are also coming up.
Several infrastructure projects are also underway in Ayodhya.
