In a major push for clean mobility, Telangana govt is set to create a centralised real-time dashboard to track every electric vehicle (EV) charging station across the state, while also planning mandatory charging points in apartment complexes.
The decisions were taken at a high-level review meeting chaired by chief secretary K Ramakrishna Rao at the secretariat on Friday, where senior officials from multiple departments discussed measures to strengthen the EV ecosystem.
Stressing that the shift to clean mobility is an urgent priority, the chief secretary said a reliable and widespread charging network was essential to build public confidence and meet rising demand for electric vehicles.
He directed departments to prepare a comprehensive roadmap to rapidly expand charging infrastructure through a combination of govt support and private investment.
Officials said the proposed dashboard would provide real-time mapping of charging stations across Telangana, helping authorities identify infrastructure gaps, monitor rollout progress and ensure transparency in implementation.
The platform is also expected to help commuters by giving easy access to charging station locations.
Special chief secretary (energy) Navin Mittal said the energy department was drafting a policy to make EV charging points mandatory in the basements of apartment complexes.
The move is aimed at enabling convenient home charging for urban residents, considered a key factor in accelerating EV adoption.
With access to charging emerging as one of the biggest concerns among buyers, the proposed dashboard and apartment charging policy are expected to give fresh momentum to Telangana’s electric mobility plans.
