TL;DR
The Delhi government is pushing a new policy to make EV charging stations mandatory at all car dealerships to boost electric mobility infrastructure and adoption.
The Delhi government is advancing a new policy initiative that would mandate the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at all automobile dealerships across the capital. This move aims to significantly bolster the city's EV infrastructure and encourage wider adoption of electric mobility. Officials indicate that Delhi Transco Limited will serve as the nodal agency, responsible for assessing demand, identifying suitable locations, and ensuring the readiness of power supply for these new charging points.
The proposed measure is part of a broader strategy to combat vehicular pollution and support a robust EV supply chain, including battery recycling and servicing. With EV charging demand already on a sharp upward trend in areas serviced by BSES, the government anticipates further growth as EV adoption increases. The policy also encourages manufacturers to ensure a steady supply of electric vehicles across various segments and work towards stabilizing prices, making EVs more accessible to consumers.
