Tata Power Limited, one of India’s leading providers of EV charging infrastructure, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), Maharashtra, to install up to 5,000 EV charging points on the properties of its members.
The MoU was signed on April 28 at the Real Estate Forum 2022 in Mumbai in the presence of Aaditya Thackeray, Minister of Tourism and Environment, Government of Maharashtra. The move will give a boost to electric vehicle adoption in the state,” the company said. Tata Power will provide a comprehensive EV charging solution for NAREDCO member developers.
This includes installing, maintaining and upgrading the chargers as needed. EV owners at NAREDCO member developer properties have 24/7 access to charging, monitoring and e-payment facilities via Tata Power’s EZ Charge mobile app.
“The move brings an efficient electric vehicle ecosystem closer to the end user and allows us to contribute to the national goal of a rapid transition to green mobility,” said Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power.
Mr Thackeray said: “Whenever there is talk of the roll-out of electric vehicles, I am often asked about the charging station infrastructure. It’s one of the biggest problems with charging infrastructure.” He commended the developers association and Tata Power for the initiative to install 5,000 electric charging stations in Mumbai.
These chargers will be made available as public/semi-public charging stations depending on the nature of the site. This will give commuters easy access to the charging stations, encouraging them to use electric vehicles.
