Jury member Hanne May, head of energy consulting at Edelman.ergo, introduced Mishra and Joshi, whose pitch - tracing the manufacture and sale of electric vehicles from India to Nepal - promptly won the audience vote.They will use the top grant, 6,000 euros, to track the electric vehicle cycle on the Indian subcontinent. “Nepal will have an excess of power from mid-2018 due to new hydropower projects”, explains Mishra, who covers energy and infrastructure for The Hindu Business Line. Joshi, who works for the Kathmandu-based OnlineKhabar.com, adds that they will also look at why there is a three-time price hike built into this cycle, “even though the customs duty is just 10%”.https://www.cleanenergywire.org/grant-winners-announcement Show less
