  • GOI has invited entities from different backgrounds to submit proposals on the set-up of EV charging infrastructure in India
  • The government also seeks proposals from areas that are connected to major metros cities
  • GOI wants the upcoming charging stations to be connected to the grid-connected solar power plant

The Indian Government seems to be taking the right steps to curb pollution in the country, in addition, to reduce the dependence on conventional sources of fuel. The Union Budget 2019, which did not bring much relief for conventional car manufacturers, had announcements in favour of the EVs in India.

Now the GOI has invited entities from different backgrounds to submit proposals on the set-up of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the country. This will be done in million-plus cities as well as smart cities, as mentioned by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

Also from other special category states, UTs as well as capital cities of all the states of India and UTs that are not included in the above category.

The Ministry of Heavy industries mentions that initially, 1,000 EV charging stations are earmarked for deployment through this EOI. These charging stations will be sanctioned to different states/cities/entities after evaluation of the proposals received under this EOI (express of interest).

Additionally, the GOI wants the upcoming charging stations to be connected to the grid-connected solar power plant of and also comply with Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) specified guidelines to offer the stability of the grid and green energy of EVs. The last date for the submission of proposals for EV charging infrastructure is August 20.
