Gurgaon Municipal Corporation Selects 20 Strategic Locations for New EV Charging Infrastructure
The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has taken a significant step toward improving the city's electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure by identifying 20 specific sites across Gurgaon for the installation of new EV charging stations. This initiative is a key component of the city's comprehensive air-pollution action plan, which was previously reported by The Times of India on December 18.
Strategic Site Selection Based on High Footfall Areas
Following a detailed survey, the municipal corporation has strategically chosen locations with the highest people movement to ensure maximum accessibility and utilization of the new charging facilities. The planned stations will be situated near bustling markets, community buildings, public parks, and major intersections throughout the city.
Comprehensive List of Identified Charging Station Locations
The specific locations earmarked by MCG for the new EV charging stations include:
- Subhash Chandra Park
- In front of Sector 4 community centre
- Badshahpur community centre
- Sector 47 community centre
- Dundahera community centre
- Sector 29 market

- Sector 34 marble market
- Sector 15 Part-2 market
- Sector 23A Huda market

This strategic placement near commercial hubs and community centers is designed to make EV charging convenient for residents while they shop, work, or engage in leisure activities. The move represents a proactive approach to addressing both transportation needs and environmental concerns in one of India's fastest-growing urban centers.
By expanding the EV charging network in these high-traffic areas, Gurgaon aims to encourage greater adoption of electric vehicles among its residents. This infrastructure development aligns with broader national and state-level initiatives to promote cleaner transportation alternatives and reduce urban air pollution.
The implementation of these charging stations is expected to significantly enhance the city's EV ecosystem, making electric vehicle ownership more practical and appealing to Gurgaon's growing population of environmentally conscious commuters.
