Major players bid for e-charging infra on E-ways

The major players in the renewable energy industry, including Adani-Total Energies, GMR Energy, Reliance and Siemens, are in the race to secure the Uttar Pradesh government’s ambitious project to equip all the highways and expressways in the state with e-charging infrastructure.

As part of promoting green mobility, the Yogi Adityanath government plans to develop e-charging infrastructure on four expressways – Bundelkhand, Purvanchal, Agra-Lucknow and Gorakhpur Link Expressway.

UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), the nodal agency designated by the state government, has invited bids from private companies to set up a network of 26 e-charging stations in these projects.
