The Haryana Department of Town and Country Planning has amended the Haryana Building Code to mandate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in all new residential and commercial buildings. Residential projects must provide one charging point per five parking spaces, while commercial buildings require one per three spaces. EV charging facilities are exempt from Floor Area Ratio calculations and can be installed in basements or stilt floors, subject to fire and electrical safety certifications. Developers have welcomed the move but seek clarity on safety protocols.
