As per reports, the key locations include Mumbai-Pune expressway, and Nashik, Nagpur and Aurangabad highways.

It has also come to light that out of the total EV stations, Mumbai alone will have 1,500 stations. While 500 have been planned for Pune, Nagpur will have 150, Nashik 100, Aurangabad 75, Amravati 30 and Solapur will have 20.

The work on 49 charging stations is very underway with 17 in Pune, 10 in Navi Mumbai, six each in Thane and Nagpur, and two each in Nashik, Aurangabad, Solapur, Kolhapur and Amravati. Whereas, 13 have already been set up.

For this, Mahavitaran – Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution company (MSEB) – has been appointed as the nodal agency. The MSEB has also developed a power mobile application to identify the nearby EV stations.

Meanwhile, another step toward promoting green offerings and e-mobility to the people of Mumbai, Tata Power, one of India’s integrated power companies and an EV charging infrastructure provider has installed 150 green energy-powered stations across residential societies, malls, commercial complexes and petrol pumps in Mumbai.
