BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) and EV Motors India Pvt. Ltd. (EVM) have joined forces to set-up smart electric vehicle charging stations.
As part of this venture, the first smart public charging station under the corporation was inducted at Patparganj, East Delhi, Manish Sisodia, Delhi’s Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister.
Speaking on the occasion, Sisodia said, “Electric Vehicles are the future of India. Expanding EV adoption will lead to a curb in pollution.”
