Delhi is gearing up for a major upgrade in its electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, with Real-time data on EV stations in Delhi soon set to be available on a single, user-friendly digital platform. This initiative aims to remove uncertainty for EV users and make charging or battery swapping a seamless experience across the Capital.
A Unified Dashboard Under EV Policy 2.0
The proposed dashboard is expected to be developed under the upcoming Delhi Electric Vehicle Policy 2.0, which is currently in the drafting stage. According to senior Transport Department officials, the goal is to create an “open EV database” that consolidates all information related to EV charging and battery swapping stations in one place.
At present, platforms like Switch Delhi and the One Delhi app provide such details, but the data has often been found inaccurate or confusing. In some cases, locations shown as battery swapping facilities do not exist on the ground. To eliminate these gaps, the new system will provide Real-time data on EV stations in Delhi with verified and constantly updated inputs.
What the New System Will Offer?
The proposed dashboard will provide EV users with access to crucial information before they travel to a charging station. This includes station locations integrated with maps, the number of charging points, capacity, availability, estimated waiting time, and the presence of battery swapping facilities. By offering Real-time data on EV stations in Delhi, the government aims to reduce long queues, wasted trips, and range anxiety among EV owners.
Officials clarified that while the Transport Department itself has not set up charging stations, it is responsible for maintaining an open database to track all public charging and swapping infrastructure in real-time.
Current Infrastructure vs Future Needs
According to official documents, Delhi requires around 36,150 charging stations to support its growing EV population. Currently, the city has 5,883 charging stations, 8,912 charging points, and 893 battery swapping stations, installed by agencies such as DTC, NDMC, Delhi Transco Limited, and private discoms.
Under the Single Window Scheme operated by discoms, over 1,600 charging points have already been installed. The government now plans to add 7,000 new charging stations by the end of this year, significantly expanding access to clean mobility.
What EV Policy 2.0 Will Change?
The new policy is expected to introduce stronger incentives for charging and swapping infrastructure. Notably, incentives for battery swapping stations may double from ₹6 lakh to ₹12 lakh. With the current EV policy expiring at the end of March, the revised version is likely to be notified soon.
Targeting Delhi’s massive two-wheeler population, the policy will focus on subsidies, scrappage incentives, and increased public charging points—from 9,000 to 36,000. With Real-time data on EV stations in Delhi, the city is taking a decisive step toward faster EV adoption and a cleaner future.
