The Ministry of Power is inviting comments on a new draft of the “Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles Guidelines & Standards.” These draft revised guidelines and standards were published on June 28, 2024.
The initial guidelines were issued in December 2018 and revised five times since to address evolving needs in the EV charging sector. The previous revision in April 2023, introduced a ceiling on service fees charged by operators at public charging stations.
This present revision incorporates feedback from stakeholders, including Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and public/ private charging point operators.
A detailed draft of the revised guidelines is available for download on the Bureau of Energy Efficiency website and at Annexure-A1 of the present circular.
Stakeholders are encouraged to submit comments by July 28, 2024. Comments can be emailed to spandita@beeindia.gov.in or rahul.juyal@beeindia.gov.in.
