Urging allotment of public places for the establishment of electric vehicle charging stations in the city, Sathish Reddy had requested to allocate lands for setting up of charging centres in lands belonging to TSIIC, IT sector, T-Hub and T Works in the surrounding areas of Hyderabad. It has been found that 28 areas of TSIIC in Hyderabad were suitable for setting up charging stations. He also added, once the department allots the places, the TSREDCO would set up DC fast charging centres at the earliest.
The chairman said that establishment of charging stations would greatly help the commuters to buy electric vehicles and thus increase the E-Mobility in the State. Sathish Reddy said that the Minister responded positively and assured full support.

The Minister said that the state government was giving high priority to environment protection. He said that special measures were already being taken to increase the use of electric vehicles. As part of this, for the first time in the country, the Telangana government has made all the arrangements for the Formula E race in Hyderabad.
Sathish Reddy said that 292 EV charging centres have already been set up in Hyderabad with the cooperation of the state government and was making efforts to set up more charging stations in public places including airports, railway stations, metro stations, municipal parking places, bus depots, markets, shopping malls, petrol stations and in tourist areas.
