NITI Aayog plans 135 charging stations in Delhi-NCR
NITI Aayog the premium-policy think-tank which had started the momentum for the countrys' switch towards electric-mobility has come out with a proposal to set-up 46 DC quick charging and 89 AC slow charging stations in the Gurgaon-IGI-South Delhi-Noida corridor. The deployment timeline will begin with first installations in November, 2017.
NITI Aayog, the government think-tank which kick-starteted country's planned switch towards electric mobility, proposes to set up 46 DC quick-charging and 89 AC slow charging stations in the Gurgaon-IGI-South Delhi-Noida corridor. The with first installations are to happen this month, November 2017.
In the proposal drafted by AC2SG in collaboration with NITI Aayog, the focus is on developing an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the Delh-NCR region.
It aims to make the actual rollout easier, faster and save cost on the infrastructure deployment needed for adoption of EVs. The planning process is based on a five-step process – project kickoff, formulating a list of locations, streamlining and timing, documentation and wrap-up.
The pilot proposes charging infrastructure across 55 locations that will include 135 charging stations – 46 DC quick charging stations and 89 slow AC charging stations. It says development of this will require co-operation among state governments, selected government authorities and companies as well as some private enterprises (for instance, DIAL at IGI, DLF Mall).
NITI Aayog is optimistic about executing the plan, which includes a large number of stations. Depending on key learnings from the ‘Quick pilot’, it will consider further expansion of the project in Delhi NCR and other cities across India.
