The Telangana Renewable Energy Development Corporation Limited has extended the Expression of Interest deadline for landowners and commercial establishments to develop EV charging stations in Hyderabad, Greater Warangal, Patancheruvu, Sangareddy, Karimnagar and Nalgonda. Under Category C of the PM E-Drive initiative, the Government of India is offering an 80 per cent subsidy for upstream infrastructure, with eligible sites requiring a minimum of 200 square yards along national highways or major state highways.
Why it matters: The extended deadline and substantial 80 per cent subsidy create a fresh procurement window for charge point operators and infrastructure suppliers targeting six priority cities in Telangana. Landowners and commercial property holders now have more time to submit proposals, potentially expanding the pipeline of publicly accessible charging sites in locations selected under the National Clean Air Programme and Smart Cities Mission.
