The Tamil Nadu Public Charging Infrastructure Guidelines marks India’s first comprehensive state-specific framework to guide the setting up of public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The document has been jointly developed by the Government of Tamil Nadu’s Industries Department, Guidance Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Ltd (TNGECL), Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Ltd (TNPDCL), with technical support from ITDP India.

The guidelines provide a structured reference for future EV infrastructure planning and implementation across both urban and regional areas. One can find the following topics covered in the guidelines-

  1. Spatial site identification
  2. Regulatory norms and standard
  3. EV charging infrastructure demand assessment
  4. Public-private collaboration opportunities
  5. The technical and safety standards.

This resource is intended to support policymakers, urban planners, and operators by offering clear guidance on the planning, deployment, and management of EV public charging infrastructure in Tamil Nadu.

Pune boasts commendable figures in non-motorised and public transport, accounting for 53 percent of mode share trips. However, this positive trajectory is at risk of reversal. Data from 2016-17 reveals concerning statistics: Pune accommodates 2.3 million two-wheelers and 700,000 four-wheelers. A particularly alarming fact emerges—Pune ranks second in vehicle density among Indian cities, with 1,260 vehicles per kilometre. This stark reality prompted city administrators to recognize the urgency of preemptive measures for urban mobility. 

We believe that creating Healthy Streets—streets that prioritise walking, cycling, and access to public transport—will not only improve road safety but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve access to economic opportunities, and create a people-friendly city for all.
