BSES distribution companies (discoms) BRPL and BYPL have facilitated the installation of around 2300 charging points in Delhi for electric vehicles (EVs) and are in the process to set up 900 more in the coming months, the company's officials said on Tuesday.

The 2300 charging points installed at over 900 locations across south, east, central and west Delhi include 1,123 private ones, 745 public and 419 for captive BSES use, the officials said.

The company is in talks with several partners to expand the charging infrastructure further, they said.

"BSES will facilitate the installation of additional 900-plus charging points over the next few months," an official said, adding BSES discoms aim is to convert their entire fleet of vehicles to EVs by 2030.

Presently, BSES has 80 EVs and the number is expected to reach 150 in the next two years, they said.

The Delhi government's EV policy aims to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the city to reduce air pollution and improve public health. The policy provides a range of incentives and subsidies to encourage the purchase and use of EVs.

The policy aims at having 25 percent of all new vehicle registrations in Delhi be electric vehicles by 2024.

The BRPL and BYPL consumers can get a private EV charging point installed through the Switch Delhi Portal at their homes, group housing societies, multi-story apartment complexes, RWA offices, and commercial shops.

For the promotion of the private charging programme, the Delhi government is providing a one-time subsidy of Rs 6000 for the first 30,000 charging points.
