About nHEV
National Highways for EV (NHEV) is a pilot program adopted by Govt of India; initially supported by the Ministry of Commerce to upgrade highways into E-Highways. It conducted tech-trials on 2 pilot corridors, namely Delhi-Agra (Yamuna Expressway – 2021) and Delhi¬ – Jaipur (NH48 – 2022) out of 12 National Corridors proposed by the Ministry of Power for electrification in its Guidelines and standards dated 14.12.2018 to be converted into E-highway. NHEV is built and funded on a Hybrid PPP Model called Annuity Hybrid E-Mobility (AHEM); currently in expansion mode of 5500 km e-highways on Bharatmala & Sagarmala routes from Delhi to Kanyakumari via Mumbai and Kolkata corridors.
