The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is gearing up for a major expansion of the city’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, proposing 25 new public charging stations across key locations. The initiative comes in response to a sharp rise in EV adoption and growing demand for accessible charging points, as all eight existing civic charging facilities are currently running at full capacity.
As a vital hub for healthcare, education, trade, and commerce, Nagpur sees a constant influx of visitors from across Vidarbha as well as neighboring regions in Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Marathwada, and Chhattisgarh. Many outstation motorists travel to the city in electric vehicles for business, particularly in bustling commercial hubs like Itwari. Expanding the network will ensure both local commuters and visiting EV owners can recharge conveniently while encouraging broader adoption of clean mobility.
Following instructions from Municipal Commissioner Dr. Vipin Itankar to identify 25 viable sites, the NMC’s Electrical Department has already initiated location surveys across the city.
Currently, Nagpur’s eight operational public charging stations are located at:
- Rahate Colony Square
- Yeshwant Stadium premises
- Katol Naka
- Wadi Naka
- Amravati Road
- Budhwari Market
- Ramdaspeth (opposite Hotel Tuli Imperial)
- Near Anjuman College
With existing stations operating at peak utilization, civic officials emphasized that rolling out these 25 additional facilities is essential to keep pace with Nagpur’s rapidly growing EV user base.
