Govt to allow individuals to set up electric vehicle charging stations without licence

Setting up public charging stations shall be de-licensed and any individual is free [to set them up], provided the stations meet the standards of the power ministry. 


"The person should apply for connectivity and the distribution company is bound to provide connectivity. Obtaining electricity from open access is also permissible," government official told. 

 A fast-charging station requires an investment of about Rs 25 lakh but a slow charging outlet would cost about Rs 1 lakh. "When EV sales pick up in about five years, an area of 3 km could require about 300 charging stations with about 4-5 charging slots,"  Praveer Sinha, chairman and managing director of Tata Power told. 


The government will also offer incentives, while also providing land from municipal authorities to those interested in setting up these charging stations.
