Ministry Approves 382 Sites for EV Charging Infrastructure in Delhi
The Ministry of Heavy Industries has approved 382 sites for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Delhi, as announced by Power Minister Ashish Sood. These sites, identified from an initial 456 locations by Delhi's Revenue Department and Transport Corporation, were reassessed for segment-specific deployment to support upcoming mandates requiring 100% electric registrations for certain vehicle categories by 2027 and 2028. KPMG has been appointed as the Project Management Unit, and tenders for 160 to 180 high-readiness sites will be floated soon to establish a sustainable EV charging network across the capital.
