Some of the city’s parking lots under the Kolkata Municipal Corporation will soon have charging facilities for electric vehicles where government and private players would offer necessary infrastructure against a payment, the state government has decided.
At least three companies have completed their preliminary survey of some of the parking lots in Kolkata where they want to set up infrastructure. Senior KMC officials said a deal with these companies with the details of the profit-sharing will be completed soon.
“We have met the representatives of these companies and discussed the deal in keeping with the norms that are laid down by the Centre for revenue sharing,” said a senior KMC official on Wednesday at a programme to announce a three-day Electric Vehicle Technology Expo at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre.
