Proposals have been invited from companies to develop charging infrastructure in cities with a population of 10 lakh and above (as per 2011 census) and smart cities. Proposals from satellite towns connected to the seven metros, along with major cities of special categories states / UTs and capitals of all states / UTs are also invited.

Reports suggest that the government plans to deploy 1,000 EV charging stations. As far as possible, these should be connected with 'grid-connected solar power plant' of required capacity as per Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) guidelines.

The last date for submitting the proposals is August 20, 2019.
