## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIES (SHRI BHUPATHIRAJU SRINIVASA VARMA)

- (a) & (b): The Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have installed 45 EV public charging stations (EVPCS) in Hisar and 22 EVPCS in Sonipat under FAME-II scheme out of which 36 EVPCS in Hisar and all 15 EVPCS in Sonipat have been commissioned.
- (c): No such assessment has been carried out by Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) so far.
- (d): The Ministry of Power  has issued 'Guidelines for  Installation  and  Operation  of  Electric Vehicle  Charging  Infrastructure-2024'  on  17.09.2024.  These  guidelines  emphasize  the  role  of public-private partnerships in expanding the EV charging infrastructure. Setting up of EV charging stations (EVCS) is an unlicensed activity and private entities are free to setup EVCS across India.

| District   |   No. of installed EVPCS under FAME-II |   No. of Operational EVPCS under FAME-II |
|------------|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| Hisar      |                                     45 |                                       36 |
| Sonipat    |                                     22 |                                       15 |
| Total      |                                     67 |                                       51 |

(e): MHI has no such plan at the moment.  However, MHI has also made an allocation of Rs.2,000 crore under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme for installation of EVPCS on a pan-India basis.

(f): As per information received from OMCs, out of 67 EVPCS installed by OMCs in Hisar and Sonipat under FAME-II, 16 EVPCS are not commissioned yet due to non-availability of electrical connection.
