The Delhi Government is providing subsidy options to residents who want to install Private Electric Vehicle Charger. The incentives provided by Delhi government will reduce the cost of chargers by up to 70 percent said Mr. Kailash Gahlot.
Delhi government will charge only Rs 2,500 to install private chargers for light electric vehicles, including two and three wheelers at malls, apartments, hospitals and such other places in the city. Delhi government is providing a subsidy of Rs 6,000 to the first 30,000 applicants for charging stations bringing down effective cost of each charger to just around Rs 2,500.
"Under the able leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the Delhi government is driving Delhi's journey to being the EV capital of India. Increasing accessibility to charging infrastructure will do away with any doubts and uncertainties one might have before buying an EV," said Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot.

The applicant can visit the portal and view trustworthy electric vehicle (EV) chargers that have been empanelled by the government. They can compare the price of these chargers and order them online or through a phone call. The applicants can choose to opt for a new electrical connection (including pre-paid meter) to avail reduced EV tariff or can continue with the existing connection.

PluginIndia Take:
Very cool initiative by Delhi government. Societies should not have ensure for not installing charge points. This should also ensure there are no issues with EV owners not getting permission to install chargers at apartments. We still don't know what chargers these are and who makes them etc.
But we definitely would be keen to test the process sometime and create an article or a video.
