Regarding electronic bikes, the meeting was informed that a complete strategy is being developed to enhance their production in the country, with the suggestion that a process is now underway to electrify all motorcycles in the country.
At the conclusion of the year, all industries should be moved to the consensus reached at the summit.
The gathering was also informed that by the end of this year, not only will all new gas geysers be manufactured with gas-saving conical baffles, but they will also be installed in all existing gas geysers.
Regarding the manufacturing of filament/substandard old light bulbs with high energy consumption, their production will be prohibited after the depletion of current stocks, and companies will be required to produce new technology bulbs with low energy consumption. There will be a transfer.

The prime minister ordered that these actions be completed within the stipulated time frame.
