The Municipal Corporation Ludhiana has floated a tender to establish 50 EV charging stations across the city, reinforcing Ludhiana’s push toward cleaner and more sustainable urban mobility.
The tender invites infrastructure developers and charge point operators to participate in deploying public charging facilities at identified locations. The move is expected to enhance charging accessibility for electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and passenger vehicles operating within city limits.
Expanding Public Charging Access in Ludhiana
As EV adoption gains traction across Indian cities, charging availability remains a key enabler. Municipal-level initiatives play a vital role in building distributed charging networks that support daily commuting needs.
By planning 50 charging stations, the civic body aims to create a stronger foundation for EV users while encouraging more residents and fleet operators to consider electric mobility. The rollout also aligns with broader national electrification and sustainability objectives.
Enabling Private Participation in City-Led EV Projects
The tender-based approach opens opportunities for private players to collaborate with the municipal corporation in developing and operating charging infrastructure. Such public-private participation models are becoming increasingly common in India’s EV ecosystem.
Structured infrastructure expansion at the city level can significantly reduce range anxiety and improve user confidence. As more municipalities replicate similar initiatives, urban charging density is likely to improve, supporting long-term electric vehicle penetration across regions.
