Magenta installed Delhi’s first Private EV charging point at Munirka in collaboration with BSES under Single Window Facility.
Mumbai : Magenta, a leading EV charging company, successfully developed and installed Delhi’s first LEV AC EV charger under the state government’s plan, which allows for the construction of private EV chargers for a net cost of roughly Rs 2,375/- after subsidy. Keeping with the trend for home EV charging, which generally accounts for 70-80 percent of worldwide charging demands, LEV AC chargers supplied by Magenta to Vasant Kunj residential community were recently inaugurated by honourable transport minister – Shri Kailash Gahlot.
In addition, Magenta has also installed multiple chargers in various areas of Delhi covering Vivek Vihar, Munirka, Dwarka, Jamia Nagar and Rohini. Magenta plans to install more than 100 chargers under the scheme by the end of April 2022. Both business and residential enterprises can benefit from the scheme’s incentive to install these EV chargers. The company envisions a goal of installing 10,000 such chargers around Delhi to boost the EV infrastructure.
