Kerala advances India’s inaugural state-led electric truck corridor along NH-66. The State Electricity Board rolls out a dedicated web portal to streamline charging infrastructure development. This move supports heavy industrial traffic under the PM E-DRIVE scheme.
Portal Enables Rapid EV Freight Expansion
The web portal simplifies charger deployments and operations for electric trucks. Kerala targets NH-66, a critical artery for freight between industrial zones. Authorities invest ₹100 crore over three years to build resilient infrastructure.
This setup addresses key barriers like charging gaps on highways. Truck operators gain reliable access, promoting wider EV adoption in logistics.
PM E-DRIVE Scheme Drives State Innovation
The PM E-DRIVE initiative funds Kerala’s corridor as a national model. It prioritizes high-traffic routes to cut diesel dependency and emissions. The state electricity board leads coordination with industry partners.
Such projects accelerate heavy-duty electrification nationwide. Kerala positions itself as a frontrunner in sustainable transport.
Industrial Traffic Benefits from Green Shift
NH-66 handles substantial freight volumes from factories and ports. Electric trucks reduce operational costs and environmental impact. The corridor fosters economic growth through cleaner logistics.
