Adani Total Energies E-Mobility has received approval from the board of the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) to develop charging infrastructure for electric vehicles along four expressways in Uttar Pradesh. This joint venture aims to set up 26 charging stations along the expressways, providing convenient access for electric vehicle users. The cost of charging will be Rs 9.74 per kilowatt-hour.

The UPEIDA had expressed its requirements last year, offering a 10-year lease for a 2,000 sqft space along the Agra-Lucknow, Bundelkhand, Purvanchal, and Gorakhpur Link expressways.

Adani Total Energies E-Mobility emerged as the chosen company among the six technically eligible contenders, which included Tata Power EV Charging Solutions Ltd, Tesco Charger Zone Ltd, Verdemobility India, Servotech Power Systems, and CASHurDrive Marketing Ltd. The selection was based on the company's competitive average service fees, ensuring minimal burden on vehicle owners.

The centre is also planning to build electric vehicle-ready highways on the Golden Quadrilateral in a major effort towards reducing fuel consumption and vehicular emissions. Sources told ET that the govt is looking to develop 6,000 km of these highways.
