Karnataka EV charging stations under PM E-DRIVE layout

Karnataka is planning to set up 1,250 public EV charging stations across the state as part of the central government PM E-DRIVE scheme. This rollout will target major government properties and public spaces to improve everyday charging access for local owners.

Over 500 sites approved in phase one

The initial rollout has already cleared more than 500 locations for installation across the state. Officials are focusing on high-traffic public areas and government premises to make sure early infrastructure reaches commuters quickly.

• Over 500 sites approved for phase one installation
• Locations include government properties and public areas
• Total target set at 1,250 public charging points
• Backed by the central PM E-DRIVE funding framework

Where charging stations will come up

The expansion specifically targets accessible public spaces where daily commuters and commercial EV operators park for long durations. State authorities are coordinating with civic bodies to secure permissions and power connections for these new hubs.

Timelines for public rollout

Implementation will happen in stages as equipment procurement and site readiness progress across the approved districts. Buyers looking at electric cars and two-wheelers can expect these stations to operationalize progressively over the coming months.
