EV charging stations installed at Guldhar, Duhai Namo Bharat stations

New Delhi: After Sahibabad RRTS station, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have now been installed at Guldhar and Duhai Namo Bharat stations along the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor . The National Capital Region Transport Corporation ( NCRTC ), which is implementing the corridor, plans to expand e-vehicle charging facilities at other stations as well.

"With Guldhar and Duhai added, the total number of EV charging stations on the corridor has increased to three. These new fast-charging stations will offer improved and quicker charging," said an NCRTC official, adding that expansion at other stations is also underway.

Each fast charger supports 50 kW high-voltage charging, enabling four-wheelers to charge up to 80% in just 30 minutes. The Guldhar station can charge one vehicle at a time, while Duhai's station can charge two simultaneously. Both stations are equipped to serve various types of e-vehicles.

Users can access these facilities via the "ElectreeFi" app, available on Google Play and Apple App Store. The app handles registration, slot booking, real-time charging status monitoring, and secure digital payments.

"This initiative underscores NCRTC's commitment to clean energy and improved last-mile connectivity. It will benefit commuters and encourage EV adoption in nearby areas," the official added.

Aligned with sustainability goals, NCRTC aims to meet 70% of the corridor's energy needs through solar power. Solar plants are being installed at all elevated stations and depots, targeting generation of about 11 MW of renewable energy.

A 55-km stretch from New Ashok Nagar (Delhi) to Meerut South, comprising 11 stations, is already operational, with trial runs ongoing on the remaining corridor.
