- (c) & (d): No such impact evaluation has been done by the Ministry of Heavy Industries.  Ministry of Power, "Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure-2024" dated  17 th September,  2024,  encourage  charging  during  solar  hours  through  concessional  tariffs, integration  of  renewable  energy  in  bus  depots  &  promotion  of  solar  carport  etc.  These  guidelines emphasize the role of public-private partnerships in expanding the EV charging infrastructure.  Setting up  EV  charging  station  has  been  designated  as  de-licensed  activity,  simplifying  the  process  for businesses.  To make the land available at affordable rates, it has been suggested that public land be made available to Government or Public entities on a revenue-sharing model at Rs. 1 per kWh.  For private entities, the land may be made available through a competitive bidding process at a floor price of Rs. 1 per kWh.  Additionally, public tenders involving government land for the establishment of BSS have been suggested to be kept technology agnostic.  State Governments have been advised to permit roundthe-clock operations of BSS.
