Maharashtra Plans EV Charging Stations at MSRTC Depots and RTOs Under PPP Model
The Maharashtra government plans to establish electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at all MSRTC depots and Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across the state. The initiative, proposed under a public-private partnership model, aims to support the growing number of EVs and the state's 2047 electric mobility target. Initially, government vehicles will have priority access, with facilities later opening to the public. The Transport Department has surveyed RTO locations and is preparing a formal proposal for government approval.
