- (c)  As  per  the  data  available,  26,367  nos.  of  Public  EV  Charging Stations are deployed across the country as on 18th March, 2025. State-wise  details  of  PCS  are  at  Annexure-I.  Further,  along  the National Highways and Expressways, Government envisions development of Wayside Amenities at approximate intervals of 4060  km  having  provisions  of  EV  charging  stations  as  one  of  the mandatory facilities. The details of such charging facilities installed are annexed as Annexure-II.

Government under FAME II Scheme in the current fiscal year, 534 nos.  of  fast  EV  EVPCS  with  capacities  of  60/120  KW  have  been commissioned. These EVPCS are spread pan-India.

- (d) Government through, MHI has implemented the following schemes  on  pan-India  basis  to  strengthen  electric  vehicle  (EV) ecosystem  and  accelerate  adoption  of  electric  vehicle  in  the country.
