Proposals for ₹10,000-cr EV charging infra projects invited
The government has invited proposals for the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in big and smart cities involving an investment of ₹10,000 crore. It also invited proposals from satellite towns connected to seven metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad); major cities of special categories State/UTs; and the capital city of all states/UTs not covered in the above categories. Initially, 1,000 EV charging stations are earmarked for deployment through this EOI. These charging stations will be sanctioned to different states/cities/entities after evaluation of the proposals received, sources from the Heavy Industries Ministry said. They also said that, to the extent possible, the charging station should be connected with 'grid-connected solar power plant' of required capacity as per MNRE guidelines so as to ensure grid stability and green energy for electric vehicles. The last date for submission of the proposals is August 20. The government recently approved Phase-II of the FAME India Scheme [Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India], for three years commencing April 1, 2019. Under Phase-II of the scheme, the government intends to support development of EV charging infrastructure by extending capital grant to different organizations working with city government for the promotion of use of electric vehicles (EVs).
