ETO Motors' appointment and empanelment by Delhi's Distribution Companies (DISCOMs') for the installation of subsidized EV charging stations were done for three years.
The tender was floated by BSES Rajdhani on behalf of the three DISCOMs' (BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, and Tata Power DDL) in July 2021. The Delhi Government has decided to set up a single-window facility and empanel vendors through DISCOMs' for the smooth rollout of EV chargers in private and semi-public places. As an incentive, the Government of NCTD is also providing a subsidy of up to Rs 6,000 per charging point, for the first 30,000 charging stations.
