India to Develop EV Charging and Battery-Swapping Stations on Panchayat Land
The Government of India, through the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL), plans to develop electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery-swapping stations on Panchayat-owned land nationwide. This initiative aims to promote clean mobility in rural areas, reduce carbon emissions, and provide Gram Panchayats with new revenue sources by utilizing underused public assets. Facilities will support various EV types, including two- to heavy-duty vehicles, expanding the country's EV infrastructure beyond urban centers.
