The Bombay High Court recently issued notice to the Maharashtra government seeking its response to a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking direction to issue guidelines for installing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations on the premises of cooperative housing societies (CHS).
Two residents of South Mumbai told the bench last Monday that the state government in 2021 introduced a policy to amend Building Code and Town Planning Rules to incorporate the provision of EV charging stations for private and commercial buildings. In February 2019 the state government proposed an amendment to model building bylaws (MBBL).
