UP Invites Companies to Set up EV Charging Stations Across Key Cities and Expressways

According to the EoI invitation, UP will focus on key cities across the state, along with major expressways and national highways that pass through the state. The tender inviting EoIs was issued on 6th June and stands open till 28th June.

The state of Uttar Pradesh has become the first in India to formally invite EoIs (expression of interest) from companies to set up electric vehicle charging stations. This is the first proposal after the Union Power Ministry issued guidelines over setting up of such EV charging stations in December 2018 to promote the use of battery electric autorickshaws. In March this year, the New Delhi government approved the plan to set up 131 public charging stations in the capital. Also, private firms like Magenta Power are working on EV charging corridor on Mumbai-Pune highway besides other projects.

According to the EoI invitation, UP will focus on key cities across the state, along with major expressways and national highways that pass through the state. The tender inviting EoIs was issued on 6th June and stands open till 28th June.

To meet its 2032 EV ambition India is making steady progress in bringing in measures for easier and quicker adoption of EVs.
