The 30 Kw chargers will be available for travellers and the general public
Leading Indian EV charging solution provider, Tata Power recently partnered with the Ranchi Airport Authority (RAA) to install two public 30 Kw chargers at the Birsa Munda Airport located in Ranchi, Jharkhand. The company stated that it plans to install Level-1 chargers, which provide a lower charging rate of 2.3-2.5kW, using standard household electrical outlets like an AC to provide power to the EV. It is more suited to cater to cabs or EV owners who come to receive or see off passengers.
The press note stated that the current partnership is aligned with Tata Power’s commitment to encouraging EV adoption in India and the government’s National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) to support the electrification of private and public vehicles by providing the necessary infrastructure.
Pleased with the collaboration, the Director of Birsa Munda Airport, Mr K.L Aggarwal remarked, “With this initial installation of EV chargers, we hope to serve hundreds of EV operators and families in Ranchi who come to see off or welcome their family and friends at the airport. While waiting, they can charge their vehicle from a trusted source without hassle.”
“We are incredibly proud to engage with the Ranchi Airport Authority to install EV chargers. We remain committed to bringing EV charging infrastructure to where the customers are; in fact, it is another step towards realising our common commitment to sustainability and lowering carbon footprints. This is also certain to address the range anxiety amongst potential and current EV owners in the city,” said Mr Virendra Goyal, Head of Business Development-EV Charging, Tata Power.
As per its website, Tata Power has a network of over 3778 public and captive EV chargers across 350 towns and cities. The company claims to have partnered with various real estate developers to achieve the government’s goal of a 30% EV adoption by 2030.
