Delhi Supercharges EV Charging: 1600+ New Points in 2025-26!
17 Apr
Summary
- Discoms plan over 3,200 new EV charging points in the upcoming year.
- Delhi's EV share in new vehicle registrations is nearly double the national average.
- Government is strengthening the EV ecosystem with adequate funding.
Delhi's power discoms are significantly enhancing the city's electric vehicle (EV) charging network. BSES is facilitating the installation of 1,600 charging points and battery-swapping stations, while Tata Power-DDL plans for 1,641 in 2025-26, marking the highest annual addition.
These efforts contribute to a cumulative network of over 6,500 points for BSES and 3,783 for Tata Power-DDL. Key demand areas include Rohini and Pitampura, with plans for 3,000 more stations in the coming year.
The government is committed to this transition, with adequate budgetary provisions to strengthen the EV ecosystem. This initiative aims to provide seamless access to reliable charging infrastructure, thereby fast-tracking Delhi's shift to clean mobility and reducing pollution.
The expansion of charging infrastructure reflects a sustained push to alleviate range anxiety. This collaborative effort between the government and discoms seeks to build a robust ecosystem that supports growing EV adoption and positions Delhi as a leader in electric mobility.
Electric vehicles currently represent 14-15% of new vehicle registrations in Delhi, substantially higher than the national average of approximately 8%.
