Kazam, a charging station startup, has teamed up with BSES to set up EV charging station network in Delhi.
The association with BSES is in line with the company's commitment to providing smart and affordable charging solutions to help India overcome its charging infrastructure challenges.
Kazam's appointment by Delhi DISCOMs, namely BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna and Tata Power DDL, for installation of subsidised e-vehicle charging stations will be for three years through a tender that was released in July 2021.
For the first 30,000 charging stations, the government of NCTD (GNCTD) would provide a subsidy of up to 100 percent of the cost of the slow chargers and up to Rs 6,000 per charging point.
The subsidy will be given to the first 30,000 charging stations and would be applicable to installations in semi-public locations such as malls, workplaces, hospitals and shops, as well as private property owners such as bungalows and apartments.
The government of NCT of Delhi launched the Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy on 7 August 2020 in an effort to make rapid progress toward sustainable development by encouraging the use of electric vehicles in the city.
The primary goal of this policy is to provide private charging facilities in semi-public sites such as commercial buildings, institutional buildings and workplaces as well as private property sites like bungalows and apartments.
