Delhi Adds 25 Low-Cost EV Charging Stations in Green Push

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia inaugurated 25 affordable EV charging stations in Mayur Vihar Phase-1. This initiative aligns with the Delhi government’s efforts to combat pollution, promote electric vehicles, and cement the city’s status as India’s EV capital.

Speaking at the event, Atishi underscored the administration's commitment to sustainability. “Delhi now boasts of more than 2,400 EV charging points, offering the lowest rates in the country. It is the reason why 12% of all new vehicles registered in Delhi are electric” she said, adding that the city also boasts the second-largest fleet of electric buses globally.

The new stations, managed by Delhi Transco Limited, bring the number of government-operated charging points to 78. Sisodia hailed the development as a pivotal step toward green mobility. “These charging stations are the power banks of a modern Delhi. Despite challenges, we achieved 12% EV adoption among new vehicles and aim for 25% by 2025,” he said.

Delhi’s comprehensive EV policy continues to position the capital as a model for sustainable urban development in India.
