TL;DR
Ludhiana's municipal corporation is set to establish 100 new EV charging stations through a public-private partnership to meet rising electric vehicle demand and address infrastructure gaps.
Ludhiana is taking a significant leap towards bolstering its electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem with plans to establish 100 new EV charging stations across the city. This ambitious initiative, announced by the local municipal corporation, will be executed through a public-private partnership model. The move addresses the increasing number of EVs on Ludhiana's roads and aims to resolve the long-standing issue of limited charging infrastructure that residents have faced.
Under this new plan, the selected firm will be responsible for all installation and operational costs, ensuring no financial burden on the municipal corporation. Strategic locations, including major roads, high-traffic zones, and market parking sites, will be identified through a survey to maximize accessibility for EV users. This development is expected to significantly ease range anxiety and further encourage the adoption of electric two-wheelers, e-rickshaws, and various four-wheelers in the city.
