Setting up public EV charging stations (PCS) requires navigating power distribution sanctions, municipal land leases, and CESL mobility aggregations.
1. High-Return Public Tender Models
Public tenders issued by municipal corporations like BMC, PMC, and NMMC now bundle highway fast-chargers with long-term revenue sharing agreements. Understanding HT (High Tension) transformer connectivity and open access regulations is essential to bidding profitably.
"India's EV charging infrastructure market is projected to deploy over 40,000 commercial charging hubs under national & state e-mobility policies."
2. DISCOM Sanctioning & Technical Feasibility
Securing continuous 11kV / 33kV dedicated feeders, CCS-2 & Bharat DC-001 dual-gun protocol compliance, and OCPP 1.6/2.0 CMS software backend integration are key prerequisites for successful RFP qualification.
