Summary:
New Delhi: The Delhi government has now cleared a proposal to set up a single-window facility to help vendors install electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities in private and semi-public spaces, Jasmine Shah, the Vice-Chairperson of the Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi, said on Monday. This is in response to the many requests we have been receiving since Delhi govt's Switch Delhi campaign, especially from apartment societies, RWAs, mall owners etc. Consumers will also be able to apply for a separate electrical connection with a special EV tariff. The roll-out plan also includes disbursal of a grant of 100 per cent for the purchase of charging equipment up to Rs 6000 per charging point for the first 30,000 charging points, as per the mandate of the Delhi EV policy. The Working Group approved the roll-out plan in principle and the program will be implemented across Delhi by August 2021..
