NHEV Station components
NHEV 3rd generation charging station
National Highways for Electric Vehicles (NHEV) is a pilot project adopted by Govt of India; initially supported by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry to upgrade highways into E-Highways. It conducted Tech-Trials on 3 pilot corridors, namely Delhi-Agra (Yamuna Expressway – 2020) and Delhi – Jaipur (NH48 – 2022) , Chennai – Trichy (NH 179 – 2024) 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.
