We have submitted a proposal to carry out the capex and maintain the infrastructure for 10 years. There will be some revenue sharing with the landowner," he said.

Status report

A clear guideline for electricity cost of the EV charging stations has not been worked out as yet. However, talks are already on in this regard, officials said. EESL has submitted a proposal to the state government to supply electric sedans on lease. "There are two models we are offering. One is 'dry lease' at Rs 22,500 a month for a period of 6 years, and the other is for drivers, which will be about Rs 37,000 a month," Bhar added.
