Provision for Public Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles in Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS)

REC Ltd. in its operational guidelines made provision for connectivity to public charging infrastructure. Under this, DISCOM can leverage funding from RDSS under ‘Part A - Distribution Infrastructure’. Further, DISCOMs can also leverage funding under ths scheme for the general upstream infrastructure augmentation necessitated due to upcoming charging infrastructure in various area. Further all States/DISCOMs/SERCs are encouraged to incentivize proliferation of such public charging infrastructure. Any changes made in the Supply codes of respective SERCs/JERCs progressively to increase DISCOMs responsibilities towards the creation of such infrastructure would also be covered under the scheme.
