Overview
- In early October the Ministry of Heavy Industries approved 382 sites that Delhi had reassessed for electric vehicle charging after an initial list of 456 locations.
- The Delhi government plans to float tenders for an initial tranche of roughly 160–180 sites judged ready for rapid deployment.
- KPMG has been appointed as the project management unit to oversee rollout and the reassessment categorized sites by vehicle type for two‑wheelers, three‑wheelers and four‑wheelers.
- Officials prioritized power availability and grid feasibility in site selection to avoid range anxiety and to reduce delays from securing land and upstream electrical work.
- The procurement and grid work are driven by statutory deadlines that require all new three‑wheelers and N1 light commercial vehicles to be electric from January 1, 2027, and all new two‑wheelers from April 1, 2028.
