The Union heavy industries ministry has consulted the ministry of ports, shipping, and waterways to determine locations across ports for installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, according to two officials aware of the development.
These EV charging stations will be installed on ports as a part of the ongoing ₹10,900-crore PM E-drive scheme, the officials said. Email queries to the ministry of heavy industries and the ministry of ports, shipping, and waterways were unanswered till press time.
The government has allocated a massive corpus of Rs 2,000 crore towards installation of EV charging stations across the country to ensure charging connectivity for India's rapidly growing electric vehicle market.
