Summary:

With 72 charging stations, Delhi already has the highest number of such stations in any Indian city, he claimed. "We are in the process of setting up an additional 100 charging stations with a total of 500 charging points in the next six months," Gahlot said. The Delhi government aims to set up EV charging stations on every three kilometres, he said adding that anyone who wants to use electricity for EV charging can install a sub metre. Charging rates for EV, which are lower than commercial rates, will apply to these which is a big relief for Delhiites who want to install charging points, the minister said. The DERC has cut down the rates for EV charging to promote their adoption and curb pollution in the national Capital, Gahlot said..
