As a step towards a greener and more eco-friendly transport system, NCRTC has set up fast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Guldhar and Duhai Namo Bharat Stations. These new charging stations will let people charge their electric vehicles quickly and easily. This move shows NCRTC’s commitment to using clean energy and making it easier for people to travel the last part of their journey.
Each new fast charging station has powerful 50 kW chargers that let electric vehicles charge much faster. These chargers can charge a car’s battery up to about 80% in just 30 minutes. The charging points at both stations are designed to work with different kinds of electric vehicles. At Guldhar station, one vehicle can be charged at a time, while at Duhai station, two vehicles can be charged at the same time.
Electric vehicle users can use this charging service through the “ElectreeFi” mobile app, which is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. The whole charging process is done using the app. Users just need to register, book a charging slot at their chosen Namo Bharat station, and start charging their vehicle in a few minutes. The app also lets users see the charging progress in real time and pay securely online. Here are the details about the EV Charging Station at Delhi Meerut RRTS Corridor–

Besides these new charging stations, there is already an electric vehicle charging facility at the Sahibabad Namo Bharat station. With the addition of Guldhar and Duhai, there are now three EV charging stations along the corridor. This initiative is part of NCRTC’s efforts to support sustainable development and improve last mile connectivity. The charging stations will help Namo Bharat passengers and also encourage people living nearby to start using electric vehicles.
By setting up these charging stations, NCRTC is giving better facilities to passengers and helping speed up India’s shift to clean energy. This supports the country’s goals for eco-friendly transportation. NCRTC also plans to add more electric vehicle charging stations at other stops along the corridor, which will encourage clean energy use throughout the entire route.
To support its sustainability goals, NCRTC plans to meet 70% of the energy needs for the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor using solar power. To achieve this, solar panels are being installed at all elevated stations and depots, with a goal of producing about 11 MW of clean energy.
