The Union Government told the Rajya Sabha on 7 August that Jammu and Kashmir has 295 electric vehicle charging stations, part of a national total of 52,718 installations as of 29 July 2026. Neighbouring Ladakh has 25 charging points. The Centre does not maintain a centralised record distinguishing fast charging from slow charging facilities, and the establishment of EV charging stations has been de licensed under Ministry of Power guidelines issued on 17 September 2024, allowing private entities to install infrastructure.
Why it matters: The de licensing policy and absence of a central fast versus slow charging register signal an open but data light procurement environment for CPOs expanding in Indian Union Territories. Jammu and Kashmir's 295 points offer a baseline for operators assessing regional rollout pace and site density in emerging markets.
