The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation will set up around 200 EV charging stations in the city by the end of this year. The municipal corporation will spend around Rs. 5 crores under the 15th Finance Commission.
Municipal Commissioner Astik Kumar Pandey said, “The charging stations will come up at fuel pumps, malls, bus stands, railway stations, business complexes, and other locations.”
“This will encourage people to go for electric vehicles and help in reducing pollution. The fund granted under the 15 Finance Commission for Aurangabad city will also be used to buy electric cars for official use,” another official said.
Recently, the Marathwada Auto Cluster starts the Aurangabad Mission Green Mobility initiative under which 250 e-four-wheelers will be bought by March 2022.
