The Ministry of Power (MoP) has issued a Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Battery Swapping and Charging Stations.
These guidelines shall be applicable to swappable battery providers, and owners and operators of battery charging stations and battery swapping stations located anywhere. The main objectives of these guidelines are to promote battery swapping as an alternative method for powering electric vehicles, encourage battery-as-a-service models, and develop a robust battery swapping ecosystem. Owners of battery charging stations or battery swapping stations can utilise their existing electricity connections for charging swappable batteries, with or without increasing the connected load. Larger vehicles like trucks and buses may deploy liquid-cooled swappable batteries for efficient charging and swapping.
