Tata Group subsidiary installs EV chargers nationwide, boosting e-mobility and cutting emissions in Indian cities.
According to an official announcement on Wednesday, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), has deployed over 850 charging points for e-buses in major metropolitan locations.
Public electric buses are only permitted to use these charging stations. If additional EVs are able to use the facility, it has not been stated by the corporation.
High-capacity fast chargers with an average charging duration of one to one and a half hours, ranging from 180 to 240 KW, are part of the charging infrastructure. The business claims that this will meet the strict operational needs of public transportation buses.
2,300 public e-buses will be able to be deployed thanks to this facility. Throughout the Indian cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Jammu, Srinagar, Dharwad, Lucknow, and Goa, charging stations have been positioned close to over thirty bus depots. In these cities, Tata Power already has original equipment manufacturer (OEM) collaborations with DTC, BEST, BMTC, JSCL, SSCL, and BRTS-AJL, among other state transport organizations.
According to the firm, this program is a big step towards lowering CO2 emissions in Indian cities. It has been stated that Delhi, with Tata Power’s EV charging stations, is leading the way in the adoption of e-buses, with Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Jammu, and Srinagar following closely after.
Tata Power wants to attain Net Zero emissions by 2040, in line with India’s Net Zero objectives. TPREL asserts that it offers a full solution for the construction of charging infrastructure, with an emphasis on economical and effective design solutions as well as extensive operation and maintenance (O&M) services for customers in the e-mobility market. In order to facilitate commercial operations, the services also include statutory NOC approvals and wastewater treatment plants.
In order to encourage sustainable lifestyles, Tata Power, a participant in the nation’s shift to green energy, provides a variety of green energy options, including EV charging, home automation, rooftop solar, and smart metering. Its global portfolio spans the whole ecosystem of renewable energy with 14,790MW. The company wants to make sustainability a movement among people and encourage the adoption of green energy solutions.
