Prince William is set to announce finalists for the Prince of Wales’ Earthshot Prize, with eco-powered electric autorickshaw makers among those shortlisted. Mahindra—described by one outlet as India’s largest manufacturer of electric autorickshaws—is listed as one of 15 finalists.
The remaining finalists are expected to be announced next Friday. The reporting frames the Earthshot Prize as an opportunity for selected solutions that address environmental challenges, with the potential of up to £1 million for winning projects. In this coverage, the focus is on electric tuk tuks (autorickshaws) as an example of low-emissions transport that could be recognized through the programme.
Across the available sources provided, the details align on the presence of Mahindra among the shortlisted candidates, the total number of finalists (15), and the timing of the announcement. However, the excerpts do not specify the full list of other finalists, the exact criteria used for selection, or whether the £1 million figure refers to all finalists or only to winners.
