Ranjani Madhavan ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited has recently proposed to Bangalore Electricity Supply Company to implement electric vehicle (EV) charging units at Metro stations. “As part of our ongoing project to implement 112 EV charging stations by August-end, we have decided to incorporate Metro’s request to have some at the Metro stations. The charging units will be installed by Delta Electronics India which won the bid for constructing 112 electric vehicle charging stations in Bengaluru. However, in places where charging units are already nearby like near Vidhan Soudha Metro station, there is no point in having one more EV charging station, so those were dropped,” said an official from BMRCL. Apart from those who own electric vehicles in the city, several Metro commuters use the Yulu Miracle electric scooter to reach Metro stations such as Indiranagar and MG Road..
