TPDDL is also working with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation for installing 50 EV chargers at parking slots and marketplaces
Power discom Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (TPDDL) said that it has installed over 1,400 chargers across the city and neighbouring towns in the national capital region so far, in a bid to enable the faster adoption of electric mobility in Delhi.
TPDDL is also working with the North Delhi Municipal Corporation for installing 50 EV chargers at parking slots and marketplaces under the jurisdiction of the civic body in the coming four-five months said TPDDL chief executive officer Ganesh Srinivasan.
“We have already installed around 50 EV public chargers (nine in TPDDL area of operations) and 1,400 home chargers in NCR. We are also looking to identify 50 top resident welfare associations(RWAs) in our licensed area for installing 2-3 two charging stations per RWA,” Srinivasan said.
The discom, supplying power to the north and northwest Delhi areas, has been working on developing both public and private EV charging infrastructure. For public EV charging, TPDDL is offering its land in a leasing model for deployment of chargers and battery swap stations, he said.
“Two battery swap stations at TPDDL Azadpur and Rohini RG-3 Grid have been deployed in collaboration with SUN Mobility in the land lease model, the TPDDL CEO said.
Electric vehicles accounted for nine percent of the total vehicle sales in Delhi during September-November, six times higher than the national average, the city government recently said.
