The initiative aims to expand Delhi's EV charging network amid growing adoption. The MCD has invited proposals from public sector undertakings, with two proposals under review. Battery swapping, especially for two-wheelers, is included to reduce charging downtime. Other government lands may also be considered based on feasibility.
