The push is part of a ₹2,000 crore incentive plan that states can avail funding from under the broader ₹10,900 crore PM E-Drive scheme. “Discussions with state governments have already begun,” said one of the persons requesting anonymity. “The aim is to usher states through the process of appointing nodal agencies, aggregating demand for chargers, and securing proper land for chargers,” the person said.
