NITI Aayog proposes 135 EV charging pods in Delhi

NITI Aayog on 10th Nov 2017 released a proposal to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Delhi, especially in the Gurgaon-IGI-South Delhi-Noida corridor.
This will make the actual roll out easier and faster and also save cost on the deployment.
The planning process is… based on a five-step process;

  • 1) project kickoff,
  • 2) formation of “long list” of locations,
  • 3) streamlining and timing,
  • 4) documentation and
  • 5) wrap-up

This proposal includes 55 locations with 135 charging stations of which 46 are DC quick charging stations and 89 are slower AC charging stations.

The deployment would require co-operation with state governments, selected government authorities and companies as well as some private enterprises (e.g. DIAL at IGI, DLF Mall).

The plan includes a deployment timeline with first installations in November 2017.

The plan is implementable,  and will be scaled up to other cities in India based on the experience from the “Quick pilot”.
