| Individual state EV policies → 5–20% varies (Delhi 5%, Maharashtra 20%) | |
| Charger Type & Power → The mandate typically refers to providing a point of supply. For residential/office use, slow AC chargers (3.3kW) are common. Public parking lots may require a mix including DC fast chargers as per MoP guidelines for Public Charging Stations (PCS). | |

With India targeting 30% EV sales by 2030, providing charging infrastructure is a mandatory requirement under the Model Building Bye-Laws for new constructions. Non-compliant projects risk occupancy certificate delays, while existing buildings face expensive retrofits and lower asset value. Proactive provisioning is significantly cheaper and essential for future-proofing.
Developers typically install empty electrical conduits to all parking bays during the slab casting stage. Active chargers are then commissioned for the mandated 20% of bays, with sufficient electrical load and panel capacity sanctioned for future expansion.
