The Gujarat government has recently revised its official vehicle procurement policy, with significant updates announced on October 12, 2026. This revision introduces two new categories for state vehicles: Category F, designated for field inspection and enforcement duties, and Category F1, specifically for officers requiring vehicles for off-road operations. The updated policy reflects a push towards modernizing the state's vehicle fleet.
A notable aspect of the revised policy is the inclusion of electric vehicle models within the new field-duty category. This move underscores the government's commitment to promoting green mobility and integrating EVs into public service. Furthermore, the off-road category, F1, now includes options for four-wheel-drive and pickup vehicles, catering to the demands of difficult terrains and remote areas.
