Pune: Civic body makes it mandatory for new buildings to have EV charging facilities
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has made it mandatory for all new buildings in the city to have electric charging facilities in their parking areas.
Municipal commissioner Vikram Kumar issued an order Friday implementing the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2021 in Pune. “The condition of seeking additional electric load from the power utility for setting up electric vehicle charging stations in the building is being laid while giving permission for all the new buildings from July 15 onwards,” Kumar said.
“If there are more than 20 immovable parking spaces for four wheelers in a residential building, then at least 20 per cent of them should have electric charging points,” he added.
