Country’s largest power provider NTPC Ltd has entered a new business segment of building a network of charging stations for Electric Vehicles. The first two charging stations are installed at company’s offices in Delhi and Noida. This move is a part of promoting clean energy transportation. And the charging station will encourage consumers to adopt electric vehicles. The Indian government is pushing hard to promote electric vehicles so that by 2032 only electric cars are sold in the country. Apart from reducing pollution, this move will also cut oil imports.
