Delhi clears 382 locations for electric vehicle charging stations, ministry announces

The Ministry of Heavy Industries, represented by Power Minister Ashish Sood, confirmed approval of 382 electric-vehicle charging points in the national capital. Earlier, Delhi’s Revenue Department and the Delhi Transport Corporation had earmarked 456 possible locations, which were re-evaluated over the past three months to allocate sites for two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers in line with the Delhi EV Policy.

This reassessment aims to support statutory goals requiring 100 % electric registrations for three-wheelers and light commercial vehicles from January 1 2027 and for two-wheelers from April 1 2028. KPMG has been appointed as the Project Management Unit to oversee implementation, and the government plans to launch a tender for the first tranche of 160-180 high-readiness sites. Officials emphasized that robust, segment-specific charging infrastructure is essential to alleviate range anxiety and sustain the city’s EV transition.
