NEW DELHI: Hundred new e-vehicle charging stations will be set up across "prime locations" in Delhi by June 27 and 71 of these would be at metro stations, power minister Satyendar Jain said on Monday. Addressing a press conference here, he said that the charge for using the station facility would be "Rs 2 per unit", which he claimed would be the "lowest in the country".
"Our EV policy envisages a charging station per 3 km in the city. Tenders were floated for setting up 100 (e-vehicle) charging stations with 500 charging points. Tenders have been closed, and 100 prime locations have been identified where charging stations will be set up, and 71 of these will be located at metro stations," Jain said.
