Govt releases guidelines for setting up EV charging stations under PM E-DRIVE
The Centre has issued operational guidelines for the deployment of about 72,300 public EV charging stations across the country with a Rs 2,000-crore outlay under the Rs 10,900 crore PM E-DRIVE scheme.
The norms recommend a tiered subsidy structure to be followed to support the installation of EV charging infrastructure across different locations.
Government premises such as offices, residential complexes, hospitals, and educational institutions will receive 100 per cent subsidy on both upstream infrastructure and EV charging equipment, provided the chargers offer free public access.
