69,000 Ev charging points to be set up across the country said Road transport minister
Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the government is planning to set up 69,000 EV charging at different petrol pumps across the country. The step will be taken as an initiative to encourage people to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). Nitin Gadkari has asked industry stakeholders to shift their focus towards making India an EV hub by 2025. He also said that a charging ecosystem is very important for a full-fledged EV network. Battery operated bikes will be also included in Delhi’s EV policy. GST on EVs has been reduced to 5%.
