India Unveils Ambitious EV Charging Framework

On September 17, 2024, the Indian government introduced a comprehensive plan to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption by expanding charging infrastructure nationwide. The guidelines target urban areas with a dense network of EV charging stations every square kilometer by 2030. Fast-charging stations will be installed every 100 kilometers on major highways and expressways, promoting long-range EV use.

Sustainability is a key focus, with the new framework encouraging solar energy integration into charging stations and offering lower electricity rates during peak solar hours. To further drive growth, charge point operators will benefit from financial incentives and access to public land at reduced rates, with electricity prices kept below average costs until March 2028.

This policy fosters public-private partnerships, stimulating job creation and economic activities related to the EV sector. As India progresses toward its climate goals, this infrastructure development is set to make EV ownership more accessible and convenient, paving the way for sustainable mobility across the country.
