ExpansionGood for private electric vehicles in the city Charging stations may be less, but the Municipal Corporation is arranging charging stations for city buses at various places. A charging station was started in the Silicon City of Rau area. Which was inaugurated by Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava on Wednesday. The first charging station in the city has been built at Rajiv Gandhi Square.

Currently in the city 40 Electric buses are operating. Some buses also ply to areas adjacent to the city limits, but they had to face the problem of charging. That’s why Atal Indore City Bus Transport Limited decided to build a charging station at Rau. Ten buses plying on the Teen Emli to Rau route will benefit the most from the commencement of this station. Earlier, these buses also had to go to the station of Rajiv Gandhi Crossroads for charging. Charging will be fast at the new station, because 40 kilowatt capacity generator has been installed here. Here two buses can be charged simultaneously. Apart from Silicon City, stations have also been built in Rajiv Gandhi and Hawa Bangla. Stations will also be made in other parts of the city in coming days.
