The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has passed 382 sites for setting up electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the national capital, reports PTI quoting Delhi power minister Ashish Sood saying as.
He also stated that "Delhi's primary focus over the last quarter has been to lay a sustainable, future-ready infrastructure foundation that directly aligns with the bold deadlines set under the Delhi EV Policy 2026,"
Moreover, sood stated that, the 382 of the 456 locations were identified by the Delhi government's Revenue Department and the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) EV charging infrastructure, received approval from the MHI.
With the notification of the Delhi EV Policy, officials of the Delhi EV Policy, all 382 sites underwent a three-month for segment-wise deployment, categorising the sites across two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers, he added.
The site-level examination took place to confirm that Delhi's charging network supports upcoming statutory mandates, including 100 per cent electric registrations for three-wheelers and N1 light commercial vehicles from January 1, 2027, and two-wheelers from April 1, 2028, Sood said.
Furthermore, he said that the Government is planning to issue a tender for the first tranche of 160 to 180 high-readiness sites.
"By prioritising power availability, grid feasibility and segment-specific charging nodes, we are ensuring that when citizens transition to electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers and commercial vehicles, they are backed by world-class infrastructure across the capital," he said.
Also, he mentioned that the success of an EV ecosystem relies on structural transformation of charging infrastructure on the ground rather than the number of financial incentives.
