Overview
- DTCP issued a public notice on Monday inviting objections and suggestions for 30 days, with feedback due by May 26.
- Draft rules require EV charging in buildings with at least 10 car parks, setting one charger per three slots in commercial projects and one per five in residential, and calling for conduits so all parking is EV-ready.
- The proposal explicitly allows chargers in basement and stilt parking if they meet fire-safety norms, with detailed guidelines now being drafted at the state headquarters.
- The amendment keeps the existing incentive that EV charging infrastructure does not count toward a project’s Floor Area Ratio, which can lower barriers for developers to add chargers.
- Resident groups signaled support and new installations, including a Gurugram society planning 150 points, though RWAs flagged costs estimated at ₹7–8 lakh per tower or about ₹25,000 per household.
