Ministry of Power releases EV charging infrastructure guidelines

Mercom India · mercomindia.com Free Intermediate India

A clear summary of the Ministry of Power's 2024 guidelines: setting up and running a charging station is a de-licensed activity any entity can do, discoms are penalised for delayed connections, public land can be offered on revenue share, and the electricity tariff for charging stations is capped.

  • You need no licence to run a charging station, only a power connection and safety compliance.
  • Ask about public land on revenue share in your city.
  • Your price to customers is the electricity tariff passed through plus your service charge.
