Highways identified for e-trucks, buses

Mint Chennai

April 09, 2025

Under the PM E-Drive scheme, the Centre had decided to spend ₹500 crore to subsidize e-trucks in FY25 and FY26

The ministry of heavy industries has identified priority highways for intercity commutes by electric trucks and buses, according to two people aware of the development.

The routes, which include Delhi-Chandigarh, Delhi-Jaipur, Pune-Aurangabad, Chennai-Bengaluru and Indore-Bhopal, among others, will be fitted with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on priority.

The move comes after the PM E-Drive scheme announced that the ministries of heavy industries and road transport and highways, along with other stakeholders, would identify routes for setting up charging infrastructure on highways.

The consultation, however, is still ongoing, and these are not the only highways where EV charging stations will be installed, one of the persons mentioned above clarified.
