CREST has successfully achieved its target of energizing 56 charging guns at five different locations across Chandigarh. The charging stations are expected to be ready by January 31, 2024.
After a prolonged wait, CREST and MC have mutually agreed upon five locations, resolving the previous dispute. The installation work is nearly complete with everyone's approval.
The five stations listed for Phase 1 are as follows:
- 12 Car Bazar Parking Area, Manimajra
- 12 Palm Garden, Sector 42
- 12 Botanical Garden, Sarangpur
- 12 Japanese Garden (Part 1)
- 8 Japanese Garden (Part 2), Sector 31
The Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission has established Rs 4 per unit and Rs 100 as a fixed monthly charge on the electricity bill for EV charging stations. This initiative propels Chandigarh towards enhanced affordability and a cleaner city. The UT of Chandigarh has a draft EV policy in place, including the installation of 1000 EV chargers by 2030.
