EV Charging Stations in India.
Scope : To Set up 100 fast EV charging corridors having 2,000 stations in India.
Public sector oil marketing company Bharat Petroleum will invest around Rs 200 crore this fiscal to set up 100 fast electric vehicles charging corridors having 2,000 stations along the busiest 100 national highways.
The second corridor will come up on the Kochi-Salem section of the National Highway 47 within the next two months.
In case a charging unit does not need a booster transformer, such a unit which will be a full-fledged centre offering rest rooms, refreshments/food court, among other amenities can be ready at a cost varying from Rs 7-12 lakh, and if the unit needs a transformer then the cost will go up to Rs 25 lakh.
Given this cost variance, They have budgeted for around Rs 200 crore investment this fiscal as they plan to set up as many as 2,000 fast charging stations across 100 corridors by March 2023.
The third corridor will most probably be the Mumbai-Bengaluru National Highway 4, and will have multiple units as the highway has amongst the highest traffic.
The national oil refiner and marketer, which is the second largest player with close to 30 per cent retail market in petrol and diesel, hopes that the EV ecosystem will grow faster than forecast earlier, and the company wants to play a big role in setting up the basic infrastructure for this ambitious drive.
