Nashik to Get 29 New EV Charging Stations soon

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has planned to set up 29 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in the city starting in 2025. This initiative is aimed at promoting the use of electric vehicles in the city.

NMC has already appointed a Delhi-based private company to establish these EV charging stations, and the company has begun work at several locations across the city. To fund this project, NMC has allocated a budget of ₹10 crore for the establishment of 29 EV charging stations, which will be financed under the National Clean Air Program (N-CAP) of the central government.

The selected locations for the 29 charging stations include six divisional office buildings of NMC, Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, near Tapovan bus depot, Amrutdham fire station, Satpur fire station, Rajeev Sambhaji Stadium, Bytco Hospital in Nashik Road, Krishi Nagar jogging track in Nashik Road, Krishi Nagar jogging track in Nashik West division, parking behind B.D. Bhalekar School, Pramod Mahajan Garden in Nashik West, Mahatma Nagar cricket ground, Phalke Smarak, Ganeshwadi vegetable market building, NMC open space at Lekha Nagar, and NMC ground on Ambad Link Road.

NMC officials stated that they are in the process of obtaining power connections for the proposed charging stations. "We plan to set up 106 EV charging stations in the city in the coming years. We have also approached the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) to assist in providing power supply for these charging points," they added.

Each EV charging station will be equipped with two charging points, allowing the simultaneous charging of 2 four-wheelers and 3 two-wheelers.
