Delhi to get 100 new electric vehicle charging stations on prime locations out of which 71 would be at metro stations by June 27 as per Power Minister Satyendar Jain. The charges would be Rs 2 per unit which is lowest in our country.
He said, “Our EV policy envisages a charging station per 3 km in the city. Tenders were floated for setting up 100 (e-vehicle) charging stations with 500 charging points. Tenders have been closed, and 100 prime locations have been identified where charging stations will be set up, and 71 of these will be located at metro stations.”
The EV charging stations would be built on a public-private-partnership model where the government will provide cabling, transmission infrastructure, and land and the company will provide manpower and equipment. The deals will be signed by April 8.
Currently, Delhi has 400 EV charging points which are owned by private as well as government companies. The locations have been chosen based on a survey by the government.
