From the report dated March 11th, 2022:-
" The Indian government has launched a drive to significantly expand the public electric vehicle ( EV ) charging infrastructure.
" The government has reported that its efforts have led to a 250% increase in charging stations in nine " mega-cities " during October 2021 to January 2022.
" The nine mega-cities - those with a population of more than 4 million - Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune and Surat, now have 940 public EV chargers out of the coutry's 1,640 total.
" During the same period, 180,000 new EV's came onto India's roads, with a wider availability of charging infrastructure believed to be giving greater confidence to customers to switch to e-mobility."
It is interesting that not only the Indian Government is looking at this development, in nine major cities, but also petroleum companies.
Also contained within the report:-
" Alongside the government efforts, the fuel companies have committed to setting up 22,000 EV charging stations in prominent cities and on national highways across the country. Of these, 10,000 will be installed by IOCL, 7,000 by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd ( BPCL ) and 5,000 by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd ( HPCL ).
" To date, the three companies have installed a total of almost 900 EV charging stations."
India trying to keeping pace with other global regions and cities, as far as EV vehicles/chargers are concerned.
