Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has started offering priority to provide power supply to private individuals who want to set up EV charging stations.
This recent move of MSEDCL is in line with the Maharashtra EV policy of 2021 which aims at having 10% of new vehicles and 25% of urban vehicles operated by aggregators and operators be EVs by 2025.
Aarti Kulkarni, Executive Engineer, special project department, corporate office MSEDCL, said, “Without priority, there is no deadline that needs to be followed, but in electric vehicles (EV), the quotation needs to be issued within 7 days and the execution by 30 days maximum.”
The power utility will accept demands from residential, commercial and industrial participants for EV charging stations and ensure that it is completed faster.
