Charging infrastructure

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has been nominated as

the Central Nodal Agency
In the push for 30% electric vehicle and green mobility by 2030, the
government of India has approved amendments in the electric vehicle
charging guidelines and specifications. 

Under the new guidelines, Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), a statutory

body under Ministry of Power has been nominated as the Central Nodal
Agency. Also, a provision for State Nodal Agency for the respective states has
been provided for in the guidelines.

Here’s a brief of the guidelines issued for charging infrastructure:

 at least one charging station should be available in a grid of 3 Km X 3

Km in the cities
 One charging station at every 25 Km on both sides of highways/roads
 In the first phase (i.e. 1-3 years) for all mega cities with a population of
over 4 Mn, all existing expressways connected to these mega cities and
important highways connected may be taken up for coverage
 In the second phase (3-5 years) big cities like state capitals, UT
headquarters may be covered for distributed and demonstrative effect
 Fast charging station for long range and/or heavy duty EVs like
buses/trucks etc., shall be installed at every 100 Kms, shall be installed
one on each side of the highways/road located preferably
within/alongside the Public Charging Station (PCS)
 It has been clarified in the guidelines that private charging at
residences/offices shall be permitted and DISCOMs may facilitate the
same
 Setting up of PCS shall be a de-licensed activity and any
individual/entity is free to set up public charging stations
 Domestic charging shall be akin to domestic consumption of electricity
and shall be charged as such
 In the case of PCS, it has been provided that tariff for the supply of
electricity to PCS shall be determined by the appropriate commission in
 accordance with the tariff policy issued under section 3 of Electricity Act
2003

Tata Power is also planning to set up and expansive network of electric

vehicle charging stations across India. At present, the company is said to
have 85 charging stations spread in 15 Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi,
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Indore, Vijayawada, and Hosur.

ndia will deploy both CHAdeMO and Combined Charging

System (CCS) fast-charging technologies, besides the
existing Bharat Standard, at its public electric vehicle
charging stations.
According to sources in the Power Ministry, now the
push will be to have Bharat Standard, CHAdeMO and
CCS charging points at all public stations.
Bharat Standard is a low voltage charging technology (72–200 volts) whereas CCS and CHAdeMO
are high voltage chargers (200 volt and above)   -  Emmanual Yogini

NEW YORK, Jan. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the market
research report published by P&S Intelligence, the Indian Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment (EVSE) market was estimated to be valued at $1,027.9
thousand in 2019, and it is predicted to reach $13,833.0 thousand by
2025, witnessing a CAGR of 54.2% during 2019–2025. When segmented on
the basis of type, AC chargers were estimated to be the larger category in
the market, in 2019.

Faster growth is expected to be witnessed by DC chargers, in the Indian

EVSE market share. The extensive government plans to install fast-
charging stations in tier-1 cities and along national highways and
expressways are expected to propel the growth of the category during
the forecast period.

One of the major trends in the Indian EVSE market is the inflow of heavy
investments from various start-up companies, EVSE manufacturers,
solution providers as well as EV manufacturers. For instance, in August
2019, EV Motors India Pvt. Ltd., an India-based start-up company,
announced that it aims to install over 6,500 charging outlets for EVs, in
collaboration with ABB India Ltd. and Delta Electronics Inc., with an
investment of around $0.2 billion (INR 14 billion). Moreover, in August
2019, Tata Power Co. Ltd. announced that it will invest $1–1.5 billion
toward the installation of 500 EV charging stations across India, by 2020.

Government of India is actively taking steps to support the adoption of

EVs, which, in turn, is driving the growth of the Indian EVSE market.
Some of the supportive initiatives are tax exemptions, purchase rebates,
and financial incentives to the buyers of EVs. For instance, the Faster
Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid & Electric) Vehicles in India
(FAME) scheme was launched in March 2015 and later revised in 2019,
with the intention of promoting hybrid and battery EVs.

DC chargers are expected to be the faster growing category in the Indian

EVSE market, during the forecast period. DC chargers require a lot of
power from the grid and are costly owing to their heavy-duty components.
However, due to their faster charging capability, when compared to AC
chargers, these would be more preferred in the coming years. These
types of chargers are mostly found along highways, rather than at
business complexes or at homes.

Private chargers dominated the Indian EVSE market during the historical
period. Their early adoption in the country, low cost, and higher demand
among customers, for overnight charging at homes and commercial
places, to maximize the long charging time of an EV, helped the private
charger market grow in the historical period.

Geographically, the western region was estimated to hold the major share
in the Indian EVSE market, in 2019. The extensive state government
support for EV adoption, especially in Gujarat and Maharashtra, and the
presence of major EV and EV component manufacturers made the region
the market leader during the historical period. The high per capita income
in this region is also a major factor behind the growth of the EV market,
and in turn, the EVSE market, here. The northern region is predicted to be
the fastest growing region during the forecast period. The poor air quality
in most of the regional cities and government concerns, as a result of
this, are expected to benefit the EV and EVSE markets.

The Indian EVSE market is currently consolidated in nature, and the major
players operating in it are ABB Ltd., Schneider Electric SE, Delta
Electronics Inc., Magenta Power Pvt. Ltd., Tata Power Co. Ltd., Exicom
Tele-Systems Ltd., Ather Energy Pvt. Ltd., Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.,
ANI Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Ola), and EV Motors India Pvt. Ltd.

In August 2019, NTPC Ltd. invited vendors for developing the charging
infrastructure for EVs, consisting of Bharat DC-001 and AC-001 charging
stations. This includes supply, transportation, unloading, storage,
installation, and commissioning, which further includes earthing, cabling,
and all related civil tasks, at identified locations. Further in November
2019, EES and REIL won orders for installing over 2,500 charging stations
for EVs, in nearly 90 cities across India.

Vehicle growth in the country has been rapid in the recent years, with
ownership per 1,000 population increasing from 53 in 2001 to 167 in
2015, according to 2018 NITI Aayog report ‘Zero Emission Vehicles:
Towards a Policy Framework’.

Ola Electric Mobility Pvt Ltd (Ola Electric) announced on Monday that it has
inked a partnership with power distribution companies BSES Yamuna Power
Limited (BYPL) and BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) to bring charging
stations to New Delhi. This is a step forward in Ola Electric’s efforts to drive
growth across India’s EV ecosystem.
