DDA reduces licence fee for petrol, CNG stations offering EV charging facility

In a bid to promote the use of electric vehicles in the city, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on Wednesday decided to reduce the licence fee for petrol pumps and CNG stations provided they offer electric vehicle charging facilities as well.

The decision was taken in a meeting on Wednesday, chaired by lieutenant governor VK Saxena who is also the DDA chairperson. The meeting also relaxed the norms for allotting houses to the economically weaker sections.

Saxena later tweeted, “Chaired the meeting of DDA @official_dda along with members. Key proposals approved,include: Norms for owning a DDA Flat by EWS relaxed Petrol Pumps & CNG Stations will be able to have EV Charging Stations, at lesser license fee–step to promote green fuel in the city.”
