Previously, installing EV charging stations in the buildings was optional. The NMC's town planning division, which oversees the city's approval of building plans, has mandated that EV charging stations be included in new construction.

Sanjay Agrawal, Executive Engineer of the town planning department, said that the building completion certificates will be issued only after setting up the charging stations. He further added that at present, around 500 building projects, with over 25 flats each, are under construction in the city.

Ravi Mahajan, president of the CREDAI Nashik chapter lauded the Nashik Municipal Corporation for the move. He added that the idea was initiated by CREDAI Nashik and that EVs will no doubt be the future.
