Govt approves 2,636 new charging stations in 62 cities under FAME India scheme for e-vehicle push: Prakash Javadekar

New Delhi: The government has given sanction for setting up 2,636 charging stations in 62 cities across 24 states and Union Territories under the FAME India scheme which will encourage original equipment manufacturers to launch new electric vehicle models, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said on Friday. The Department of Heavy Industry had invited the expressions of interest (EoI) from entities for availing incentives under the FAME India Scheme Phase II for deploying charging stations within cities. “By installing all these charging stations, it is expected that at least one charging station will be available in most of the selected cities in a grid of 4 km x 4 km, which will boost the confidence of users of electric vehicles in terms of range anxiety and also this will encourage the OEMs to launch the new electric vehicle models which they were hesitant because of lack of charging infrastructure,” the Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises said.

Reuters[/caption] Under the second phase of the FAME India (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India) scheme, 317 EV charging stations have been sanctioned in Maharashtra, 266 in Andhra Pradesh, 256 in Tamil Nadu, 228 in Gujarat, 205 in Rajasthan, 207 in Uttar Pradesh, 172 in Karnataka, 159 in Madhya Pradesh and 141 in West Bengal. Similarly, as many as 138 charging stations have been permitted in Telangana, 131 in Kerala, 72 in Delhi, 70 in Chandigarh, 50 in Haryana, 40 in Meghalaya, 37 in Bihar, 29 in Sikkim, 25 each in Jammu, Srinagar, and Chhattisgarh, 20 in Assam, 18 in Odisha and 10 each in Uttarakhand, Puducherry and Himachal Pradesh. Sanction letters to the selected entities will be issued in phases after ensuring availability of land for charging stations, signing of necessary agreements/MoUs with concerned partner organisations like city municipal corporation/discoms/oil companies etc. Subsequently, selected public entities are required to initiate the procurement process in a time-bound manner for deployment of sanctioned charging stations. The Department of Heavy Industry had invited the Expressions of Interest from large cities, smart cities, state/Union Territory capitals and cities from special category states for submission of proposal for availing incentives under FAME India Scheme Phase II for deployment of EV charging infrastructure within cities. In response thereof, about 106 proposals from public/private entities for the deployment of about 7,000 EV charging stations were received. After evaluation of these proposals as per EoI, on the advice of Project Implementation and Sanctioning Committee (PISC) the Government sanctioned 2,636 charging stations to 62 cities submitted by 19 public entities for 24 states. Out of these 2,636 charging stations, 1,633 will be fast-charging stations whereas the remaining 1,003 slow charging stations. About 14,000 chargers will be installed across the selected cities.
