Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Implementing EV Charging Infrastructure Guidelines in Housing Societies

The Supreme Court of India agreed to examine a plea by Rachit Katyal seeking directions to State Governments for implementing the 2024 Guidelines on electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, particularly in group housing societies. Katyal, facing obstacles installing a private charger in his residential complex despite bearing costs, highlighted insufficient shared charging points for EV owners. The Court issued notices to the Centre, Uttar Pradesh, and a housing management company, scheduling further hearing in April.
