MINISTRY OF POWER RELEASES GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE, 2024

The Ministry of Power has released guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, 2024. These guidelines will apply to public, semi-public, and private charging stations across India, including utilities, central and state agencies. According to the guidelines, public charging stations can be established on public land at subsidised rates, with revenue sharing models to lower costs. The current EV charging density targets aim for one station every 1 km in urban areas and every 20 km along highways by 2030. The EV charging stations will follow a single-part tariff system with reduced rates during solar hours (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM) and service charges for EV charging are capped depending on the type of charging (AC or DC) and time of day, to ensure transparency.
