India Reports Significant Growth in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
India's electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure has significantly improved over the past year, with the number of public chargers rising from about 30,000 to over 52,700, reducing the vehicle-to-charger ratio from 1:250 to 1:175. BMW India's CEO Hardeep Singh Brar highlighted this progress, noting the gap with developed markets like China and Norway. The government confirmed these figures in Parliament, attributing growth to funding under FAME-II and PM E-DRIVE schemes and new guidelines from the Ministry of Power to standardize charging networks.
