by Mansi L. Be happy

To make Delhi clean and green, the government of Delhi launched the Switch Delhi Campaign in the National Capital Territory (NCT) in coordination with DISCOMs to encourage the citizens of Delhi to switch from polluting petrol and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles. To increase the sale of EVs, especially for two and four-wheelers the campaign was launched waiving off registration charges, and road tax, and providing extensive subsidiaries. A two or three-wheeler electric vehicle customer has to pay only Rs. 2500 for getting a charging point installed after the subsidy. The scheme targets domestic and semi-public sites in the national capital region.

Although the campaign was planned for eight weeks from February to April 2022, it got further extended owing to increase the sale and for customers to avail the benefit of EV charger subsidy scheme in Delhi and become a part of clean and green India.

As India is the fourth largest Green House Gas emitter worldwide, this campaign was launched to create awareness of EVs and EV charger subsidies. A single window facility is available for the installation of private EVs via a phone call and online in which a customer can avail one charging point. Tata Power-DDL has already selected 12 vendors for the installation of charges.

To avail the single window facility of the Delhi Government, the consumer can visit the Tata Power- DDL website EV portal or by calling Tata Power-DDL Sampark Kendra @19124. The installation of these EV chargers will be completed in seven working days after the submission of the request.
