The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on Friday issued a work order to a private firm to introduce e-bikes on rent and set up 250 charging stations across the city in the next two months.
VTRO Motors Private Ltd has been appointed to set up charging stations in 15 ward offices across the city.
“The proposal to implement the e-bike rental project will be done in a phase-wise manner. Initially, it was planned to set up 750 e-bike charging stations, but later we decided to implement the project in a phase-wise manner across the city’s main roads,” said Srinivas Kandul, head of the electrical department, PMC.
