New Delhi: As the Switch Delhi campaign entered its fifth week on Sunday, Delhi government said it will focus on creating awareness on charging infrastructure in the city and the government’s preparedness to enable the transition as part of the initiative to promote adoption of electric vehicles (EV) in the capital.
Switch Delhi is an eight-week mass awareness campaign by Delhi government to sensitise Delhiites about the benefits of switching to EVs as well as to make them aware of the incentives and infrastructure being developed under Delhi’s ambitious EV policy. The campaign aims at informing, encouraging, and motivating every person in Delhi to switch from polluting vehicles to zero-emission electric vehicles.
“The AAP government has carried out a comprehensive planning to build an effective EV charging infrastructure across the national capital for faster uptake of these vehicles,” transport minister Kailash Gahlot said. “The government left no stone unturned to pave the way for smooth transition of EVs. We already have over 72 charging stations in the city and 100 new ones are coming up with 500 charging points in the next six months,” he added.
