NITI Aayog releases proposal to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Delhi

NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar yesterday released a proposal to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Delhi. 

The "quick pilot" project includes 55 locations with 135 charging stations. Of these, 46 are DC quick charging stations and 89 are slower AC charging stations. In a statement, NITI Aayog said, the plan includes a deployment timeline with first installations in November



itself. 

The proposal can be used to provide a structure for electric vehicle infrastructure rollout in the Gurgaon-Indira Gandhi International Airport-South Delhi-Noida corridor. The deployment of the infrastructure will require co-operation with state governments, government authorities and companies, as well as some private enterprises like DLF Mall and Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL).
