India has 29,277 EV charging stations, Karnataka leads: Minister
New Delhi: There are now a total of 29,277 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the country, the Parliament was informed on Friday. Karnataka leads with 6,097 EV charging stations, followed by Maharashtra at 4,155 and Uttar Pradesh at 2,326, Minister of State for Steel and Heavy Industries, Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma, told the Lok Sabha in a written reply. The Power Ministry issued the 'Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure-2024', in September last year, and the 'Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Battery Swapping and Charging Stations', in January this year, which lay down standards and protocols for developing a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, battery charging, and battery swapping stations. "An allocation of Rs 2,000 crore has been made under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme to support the "setting up of adequate public charging infrastructure for various categories of electric vehicles" on a pan-India basis in consultation with ministries, states and other stakeholders," informed the minister. The PM E-DRIVE scheme was launched in October 2024 to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through demand incentives and expand EV charging infrastructure nationwide. The Centre has allocated Rs 10,900 crore for subsidies to EVs under this scheme. When it comes to Tier-2 cities, there are as many as 4,625 EV charging stations operational in the country (as on April 1, 2025). Meanwhile, the government has supported a total of 18,84,905 electric vehicles (EVs) under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid and) Electric Vehicles in India (FAME India) scheme till June 30 this year. Under the FAME-II scheme, the government supported 16,29,600 vehicles. The FAME-II scheme sanctioned a total of Rs 912.50 crore for the installation of 9,332 EV PCS, out of which 8,885 EVPCS have been installed (as on June 30), said Varma. The FAME schemes were applicable all across the country, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The FAME-I Scheme duration was 2015-2019, and the duration of the FAME-II scheme was 2019-2024.

Google Pixel Watch 4 price, charging speed, and launch offers leaked ahead launch
Google is planning to launch the Pixel Watch 4 alongside the Pixel 10 smartphones at its Made by Google event on August 20. Ahead of the launch, leaks have revealed key details about the new smartwatch, including its pricing, charging speed, and design options. Let's take a closer look at what's coming. The Google Pixel Watch 4 will come in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm, similar to its predecessor, the Pixel Watch 3. Both sizes will offer Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity. According to Android Headlines report, the 41mm Wi-Fi model will start at $349 (roughly Rs. 30,500), while the LTE version will be priced at $399 (approximately Rs. 34,800). The larger 45mm model will likely cost $399 for the Wi-Fi variant and $449 (roughly Rs. 39,200) for the LTE option. These prices match the Pixel Watch 3's launch pricing, positioning the new watch competitively against other Wear OS devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and the OnePlus Watch 3, both priced at $349. In addition to the hardware, Google will offer buyers six months of Fitbit Premium and one month of YouTube Premium as part of the package. These services will come at no extra cost with the purchase of the Pixel Watch 4. The charging system for the new watch has also received an update. It is expected to deliver faster charging, which will improve speed by up to 25 percent. Furthermore, reports suggest the watch will charge from zero to 50 percent in 15 minutes and reach 80 percent in 30 minutes. Moreover, the Google Pixel Watch 4 will offer familiar sizes and connectivity options to enhance charging and additional subscription services at launch. More official information is likely to be confirmed at the launch event later this month.
