In order to give India's electric vehicle EV industry a push, Delhi-based deeptech company, MapMyIndia MappIs has collaborated with the Delhi government to develop a web application that will be a geo-spatial decision-making tool to ensure effective sighting of EV charging stations.
The tool will be used in conjunction with the planning and deployment of an accessible and connected network of EV charging stations within the city, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
This tool, currently under development, is equipped with important information such as location coordinates of existing charging stations in Delhi, along with their specifications, location coordinates of the EV consumer locality, vehicle segment and variant name and location coordinates of the upcoming 100 public charging stations that were previously tendered out by the Delhi government.
Rohan Verma, CEO and ED of MapmyIndia, said that we are very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Delhi's march towards becoming the EV Capital of India and to make Delhi a cleaner, greener and better place. MapmyIndia Mappls mGIS maps and technology platform will be used to provide a decision-making tool. The tool can also identify locations of hospitals and nursing homes that have high dwell time for vehicles.
Ashish Kundra, the principal secretary and commissioner of the Department of Transport, said that this partnership is important in order to further support the development of a custom decision-making tool that could be used for planning and identifying locations for charging stations in the city.
MapMyIndia was started in 1995 by Rakesh and Rashmi Vermi Verma as CE Info Systems. Rohan Verma, their son, joined the NSE-listed company in 2004. Since then it has evolved into a technology company with digital maps as its flagship offering.
