Thackeray directed the civic body to install more EV charging stations at various parking lots under its jurisdiction.

Smart charging stations should be prioritised in regions with a large number of electric cars. A comprehensive survey should be done in this respect, and charging stations should be made available in an increasing number of parking lots, he added.
