Switch to Electric Vehicle and avail Tata Power-DDL subsidy

by Mansi L. Be happy

The Government of the National Capital Territory launched the Switch Delhi campaign with a mission to make Delhi the EV capital of India, a step towards a cleaner and greener planet. 

Switch Delhi campaign aims to inform, encourage and motivate the citizens of Delhi about the benefits of electric vehicles and urges them to shift from their polluting vehicles to zero-emission electric vehicles. Delhi’s EV policy is considered one of the most progressive policies around the world as its vision is to improve air quality and to become one of the top cities globally in terms of EV adoption. The government aims to have 1 out of every 4 vehicles be EV by 2024. 

 

Benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs) 

  • Less maintenance 
  • Easy to charge 
  • More savings
  • No noise pollution
  • Reduce oil imports
  • Cleaner air  

In order to reduce the footprint of heat-trapping gas like carbon-di-oxide and to create an extensive network of EV charging stations, Delhi Government has urged several big companies, food delivery aggregators, malls, and cinema halls to set up electric charging solutions in the parking space to promote Delhi government electric vehicle policy. The government has directed all commercial establishments having a parking capacity of 100 or more vehicles to reserve 5 percent of their parking space for EVs with suitable electric vehicle chargers with a minimum output of 3.3KW. 

 

Subsidy Policy to promote electric vehicle charger 

Delhi government has launched a single window facility in coordination with DISCOMs for the installation of chargers for private EVs. A customer can avail of a charging point by calling Tata Power-DDL Sampark Kendra @19124 or by visiting Tata Power- DDL EV portal. The installation will be completed within seven working days after the submission of the request. A customer has to spend Rs. 2500 for a two or three-wheeler electric vehicle charging point to be installed.

Vehicular pollution in Delhi is one of the major sources of pollution in the National Capital. The current Delhi Government is taking progressive measures to restore the air quality. A push towards EVs would help curb the high levels of pollutants by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this lieu, Tata Power-DDL is supporting the central government’s ‘National Electric Mobility Mission’ and the Delhi Government’s vision of promoting electric vehicle adoption and establishing Delhi as the EV capital of India. Tata Power-DDL is also facilitating the establishment of public charging stations and battery swapping in its licensed area.
