India is witnessing a 93% growth in charging infrastructure in 2022, compared to a year ago, and in the first half of the calendar, the country has seen installation of 5,996 public charging connectors, said Randheer Singh, Director, Electric Mobility & Senior Team Member for Advanced Chemistry Cells Programme, NITI Aayog.
“Marching at this pace, it shows a remarkable growth trajectory the country offers in this sector. The industry is undergoing radical changes, and more things will materialise in the next 2-3 months, especially in the 2-wheeler segment.” he told participants at Karnataka Electric Vehicle Conference 2022, organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Bengaluru, on September 22.
Emphasising the importance of quality and sustainability, he said, “It is important to create a sustainable and safe model. We can not afford to flood the market with untested chargers, vehicles of inferior quality, and battery packs that are not properly tested.”
