In line with the Union Government's push towards transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), the electricity generation major, Tata Power revealed on Wednesday (24 July) its plans to install 500 EV charging stations across five major Indian cities over the next one year, reports Hindu BusinessLine.
The EV charging stations, which are already being installed by Tata Power, would dot the maps of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad. The development was made public by Tata Power's managing director and CEO, Praveer Sinha.
