Uttar Pradesh is preparing to introduce a \u201cright-of-use\u201d policy, compelling state departments, development authorities, and civic bodies to lease their unused land for EV charging infrastructure. The move marks a crucial step in bridging the gap between rapid EV adoption\u2014exceeding 12.5\u202flakh registered vehicles\u2014and the current shortfall of charging stations.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Officials from the renewable energy department have highlighted that the absence of available land is a major impediment for private developers aiming to roll out charging stations. The forthcoming state cabinet approval will mandate government bodies to release vacant land for this purpose, helping create a comprehensive charging network in urban centres, along highways, and around industrial corridors. National policy mandates installing charging stations every 1\u202fkm in cities, every 20\u202fkm on highways, and fast-charging nodes every 100\u202fkm for heavy vehicles. Under the proposed model, land-owning agencies would earn \u20b91 per kWh of electricity consumed\u2014providing a steady revenue stream over a 10-year term\u2014while private firms bear the capital expenditure.<\/h4>\n

Concurrently, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited has announced the creation of Uttar Pradesh Renewable and EV Infrastructure Ltd to spearhead charging infrastructure deployment, especially across highways, urban areas, and industrial zones. Earlier reforms also widened EV subsidies to include upstream infrastructure installation\u2014such as civil works, transformers, and cabling\u2014covering up to 20% of investment or \u20b910\u202flakh per unit, significantly easing upfront costs. Experts note that combining land access with financial incentives addresses two major barriers for EV charging expansion. By integrating underused government land into green infrastructure and promoting private investment, the state is pursuing a low-carbon, sustainable transport trajectory. Urban planning analysts say the move sets a strong precedent for equitable charging access, particularly in high-density cities where space is at a premium.<\/h4>\n

As UP positions itself as a national EV hub\u2014with ambitions to grow registered EVs tenfold by 2030 and electrify government fleets\u2014success hinges on prompt cabinet clearance and effective coordination across agencies. The challenge remains to allocate land, fast-track fire and grid clearances, and create seamless integration into the public landscape. Ultimately, the policy could be a pivotal enabler, weaving EV charging into the urban and highway fabric while fostering climate-friendly mobility across the state.<\/h4>\n
