thebalanced.newsHaryana Proposes Mandatory EV Charging Infrastructure Amid Legal and Policy Developments in Delhi and Greater Noida
Haryana's government has proposed amendments to the 2017 Building Code to mandate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in residential and non-residential buildings, requiring one charging point per three parking slots in commercial spaces and one per five in residential complexes. The draft invites public feedback and maintains Floor Area Ratio exemptions. Meanwhile, a Greater Noida resident has taken legal action against his housing society for denying EV charging installation. Separately, Delhi's draft EV policy offers subsidies but faces criticism for favoring affluent car owners and lacking street-level charging governance.
