It will facilitate and enable the residents to access EV charging facilities in housing colonies across Delhi.

The state government announced the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy in August 2020 to promote the adoption of EVs and make Delhi the EV capital of India.

According to a statement, the government has been directing all residential institutions with a parking capacity of 100 or more to reserve 5% of their parking space for EVs with EV charging stations with a minimum output of 3.3 KW.

It further added that the government also provides a grant of 100% for purchasing charging equipment up to Rs 6,000 per charging point for the first 30,000 charging facilities and a special EV tariff for EV charging.
