ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s Information Secretary Ahmad Jawad in a statement on Friday said the government had decided to introduce electric buses in the country to cope with the issue of air pollution.

He said bids would be opened for award of contracts for the renewable energy projects.

The PTI information secretary said the government had also invited bids for setting up renewable energy projects in the country to tap the investment potential of 40 billion dollar, eyeing 30 percent renewable energy in the system by 2030 and together with hydroelectric power to be 60-65 percent of the energy mix.

He said the stock market was witnessing bullish trend because of economic stability.
