Mumbai, August 11, 2026: Maharashtra's Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) may soon transform into electric vehicle (EV) charging hubs under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, according to a Transport Department proposal. The plan involves setting up charging stations at all 60 RTO offices across the state, with government vehicles receiving priority for charging.
Once these vehicles are charged, the stations will be open to the public, with a potential revenue-sharing model in place. The proposal aims to address the rising number of EV registrations in Maharashtra, currently standing at 7,72,123 electric vehicles in just four years. The stations are expected to serve not only as government EV charging points but also as a broader public charging network, addressing the current gaps in charging availability for EV owners.
