The holy city of Ayodhya has seen many rapid developments in the past few months. However, the most recent infrastructure sustainable enhancement is the installation of EV charging points in and around the city. It is a joint initiative by Tata Power and the Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA).
The primary objective of this partnership is to speed up the adoption of EVs and promote sustainable mobility solutions, said Tata Power. Moreover, they flagged off four electric vehicles to the nearby cities. By installing EV charging stations, it will be easier to connect Ayodhya with nearby major cities.
Positioned strategically, these charging points are in key routes, including:
- Lucknow to Ayodhya via NH27
