|September 16, 2025
TAMIL NADU has launched India’s first state-level framework for public charging infrastructure, aiming to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption and meet the national goal of 30 per cent electrification by 2030. Developed in collaboration with the industries department, Guidance Tamil Nadu, TN Green Energy Corporation Ltd (TNGECL), Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd
(TNPDCL) and ITDP India, the guidelines seek to standardise charging infrastructure, streamline approvals and promote smart, renewable-powered charging to reduce grid stress.
“Setting up EV charging infrastructure is tricky because it involves multiple agencies. To simplify who does what and how, guidelines are the way forward,” said Sivasubramaniam Jayaraman, ITDP India deputy director.
