Karnataka government drops plan to set up 2,500 public EV charging stations
Even as 1,04,415 new electric vehicles (EV) have come out on to the roads in Karnataka in 2025, the government has decided to drop its ambitious plan to set up 2,500 public EV charging stations across the State under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. The Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom), which is the nodal agency for EV infrastructure in the State, stated that the project has been dropped after not receiving positive response from EV stakeholders. In the Budget presented by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for the year 2024–25, he had announced that 2,500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations will be set up in the State under PPP model while 100 charging stations will be set up by escoms at a cost of ₹35 crore. A government order passed in June this year said that the plan to set up these charging stations has been dropped after considering the explanation provided by the managing director of Bescom. Shiva Shankara N., managing director, Bescom stated that failure to set up public charging stations previously deterred stakeholders from coming forward to set up new stations. 'In 2023 –24, even though there was a government order to set up 585 charging stations under PPP in nine districts, even one station could not be established. In 2024–25, a tender was called to set up 605 EV charging stations in the remaining 22 districts. While no bid was received for 18 districts, there was a single bidder for the other four. However, other government departments did not cooperate with the agencies which were awarded the tender when it came to land leasing. It was not possible for Bescom to identify land where the agencies could set up stations according to their regulations,' he explained. He further said that with not many EVs operational on the roads, agencies would be financially burdened if they established charging stations. Companies highlight challenges EV charging infrastructure providers said that they face many key challenges when it comes to setting up public charging stations. Talking about the mismatch between demand and supply locations, Raghav Bharadwaj, CEO, a provider of EV charging solutions said, 'Most EV users—especially individual two-wheeler and four-wheeler owners—prefer to charge their vehicles where they already spend significant time, such as at home, office, cafes, or malls. Unfortunately, many government-allocated sites for charging (like bus depots, government land, or offices) are not aligned with natural user behavior or traffic flow, making them commercially unviable.' He also said that inter-departmental coordination between Bescom, BBMP, and traffic police, which is often slow and complex leads to companies not having access to high utility spaces like curbside parking spots and electric pole-based charging, where people already park their vehicles to sleep, work, eat, or play. 'Deploying chargers in low-traffic areas with no guaranteed demand is risky and capital-intensive. Private players are wary of investing without clarity on land usage, electricity connection timelines, or return on investment. The PPP model, as currently structured, does not de-risk or incentivise early private participation adequately,' Mr. Bharadwaj further said. Private players demand mandating charger integration into real estate development, creating awareness among citizens and incentivising infrastructure to encourage more EV charger usage. EV users say that they are currently forced to charge the batteries of their vehicles at home as public infrastructure is unreliable. 'There are many apps which show where public chargers are located. But when I go there, they might be out of service, or the charger might not be compatible with my vehicle. The government should provide more reliable public chargers in the city similar to how there are many petrol pumps,' said Aarathy Praveen, a regular EV user. There are a total of 5.95 lakh EVs on road in Karnataka according to the data available with the Transport Department. Currently, to cater to this demand, the government has directed Bescom to take necessary steps for escoms to set up 100 charging stations at a cost of ₹35 crore.

The topline was 3% up versus Rs 1,453 crore in the January-March quarter of FY25. The Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) for the quarter stood at Rs 301 crore and the installed EV charging points increased to 3,801. In its filing to the exchanges, ATGL said that the overall volume was up by 16% in Q1 FY26 on a YoY basis. The CNG network increased to 650 stations, adding 3 stations while the PNG household increased to 9.90 lakh PNG homes, an addition of 26,869 new homes. Live Events The company increased industrial & commercial connections to 9,456 with 157 new customers added in the quarter under review. It completed a cumulative 14,197 Inch Km of Steel Pipeline network. The combined CNG and PNG volume of 267 MMSCM was recorded, an increase of 16%, YoY. The combined supply of APM and New Well Gas (NWG) / Intervention Gas for the CNG segment was at 61%. Adani Total Gas (ATGL) and Jio-bp partnership ATGL and Jio-bp (operating brand of Reliance BP Mobility Limited) signed an agreement to provide Fuel Offerings to consumers. Under this partnership, select ATGL fuel outlets will offer Jio-bp's high-performance liquid fuels (petrol and diesel), while within ATGL's authorised Geographical areas, select Jio-bp fuel outlets will integrate ATGL's CNG dispensing units, thus enhancing the supply of high-quality fuels to transport consumers. Commenting on the results, ED & CEO Suresh P Manglani said, 'During the quarter, we achieved a robust year-on-year volume growth of 16%, driven by a 21% increase in CNG volumes. We are continuing expansion of our CGD networks across all 34 Geographical Areas (GAs) with over 14,000 inch-km of backbone steel pipelines, 650 CNG stations and are very close to touching 1 million consumers base. EV charging points have increased to over 3,800. This all-round superior performance was delivered while APM gas allocation for CNG was at 43% and the balance supplies were being offset with allocation of higher priced new wells and HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) gas. "Looking ahead, we are focused on expanding not only our CGD infrastructure across our geographical areas but also our LNG, e-mobility solutions, and CBG (Compressed Biogas) businesses. During the quarter, we commissioned our first CBG station in Haryana," he added.

One of the world's highest lakes, located in Sikkim, has left Anand Mahindra mesmerised. Here's how to reach the place
Perched at a staggering 17,800 feet above sea level in the northern reaches of Sikkim, Gurudongmar Lake is not just a breathtaking natural wonder — it's a place steeped in legend, faith, and geological awe. Capt. Sumit Bhatnagar, an ex-pilot with the Indian Navy, recently captured a surreal image of the lake that caught the attention of Anand Mahindra . Sharing the photo, Mahindra quoted Rabindranath Tagore: 'In the mountain, stillness surges up to explore its own height; in the lake, movement stands still to contemplate its own depth,' calling it a 'surreal vision' of one of the world's highest lakes. Named after Guru Padmasambhava — the 8th-century Buddhist master revered across Tibet, Nepal, and the Himalayan belt — Gurudongmar Lake holds deep spiritual significance for Buddhists, Sikhs, and Hindus alike. According to the Mangan district website, it's also a place of pilgrimage and myth, surrounded by snowy peaks and steeped in serenity.

As noted by Incredible India's website, Gurudongmar is the origin point of the mighty Teesta River . Fed by glacial melt, its waters flow into the nearby Tso Lahmu Lake, eventually giving birth to a river that sustains countless lives downstream. Interestingly, the hilly terrain and surrounding glaciers make the lake appear deceptively small, hiding its true scale and hydrological importance. How to reach Gurudongmar Lake? Reaching this high-altitude marvel requires a bit of effort. Travellers can fly into either Pakyong Airport (about 30 km from Gangtok) or Bagdogra Airport (around 100 km away), then take the road route via Gangtok–Mangan–Lachung. The nearest railway station is New Jalpaiguri, approximately 100 km from the capital.
