08 May 2024

The first electric vehicle (EV) charging station of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has become operational at the Sahibabad RRTS station in Ghaziabad, as per a statement. It is reported that located at Gate No. 1 of the Sahibabad Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) station, the newly operational EV charging station boasts a wide range of charging units catering to various electric vehicle models.

The statement stated that the move is among numerous measures to ensure last-mile connectivity that will allow people to charge their four-wheelers within an hour by using the fast charging facility. They could also use the slow charging facility at the station to charge their four-wheelers within three hours and their two-wheelers within one and a half hours.

Moreover, with the added flexibility of online payment options, users will have the convenience of paying per unit of electricity consumed through a single mobile application. The statement further said that in the near future, the EV charging facilities will be extended to other operational RRTS stations, including Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South, and Modi Nagar North. Notably, NCRTC has been striving to reduce its ecological footprint since the beginning of the implementation of India's first regional rail project.
