Namo Bharat Station: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has announcing commissioning of the country’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging facility on the popular Delhi Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor at East Delhi’s Anand Vihar Namo Bharat Station.
The station has been equipped with 10 out-of-the-box fast-charging units. The existing facility could support the simultaneous charging of around 10 four-wheeled electric vehicles at a time with each unit having a capacity of 480 kW. Four-wheeler vehicles under optimal operating conditions could achieve up to 80 percent charge within 30 minutes.

Namo Bharat Station Facilities For EV Charging
The Namo Bharat Station would also feature dedicated charging infrastructure for heavy commercial electric vehicles such as buses and trucks. This would help in addressing critical gaps in the region’s existing electric vehicle charging ecosystem. In most cities of the country, electric charging for large vehicles is presently unavailable or highly limited. The inclusion of such facilities at the Namo Bharat Station would help in supporting the adoption of electric mobility in the Delhi NCR region.
With the latest addition, electric vehicle charging services would now be available at 8 stations along with corridor – Duhai, Muradnagar, Modinagar South, Sahibabad, Guldhar, Meerut South, Modinagar North and Anand Vihar.
How To Avail?
Interested individuals could download the “ElectreeFi” mobile application that is presently available on Google Play Store. Users would be required to register on the mobile app and book an online charging slot at their preferred choice of EV charging station. Once booked, their vehicle could be charged within just few minutes. Interestingly, the app also facilitates charging status monitoring in real-time and enables digital payments.
Prime Minister inaugurated the 82-kilometer Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor in February. Developed at the cost of Rs. 30,000 crore, the project cuts the otherwise enormous and congested time from Delhi to Meerut to less than an hour.
