The move makes Mumbai one of the first Indian cities to embed electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure into its public transport system
Mumbai:In a major push towards clean mobility, the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL) has joined hands with Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt Ltd to launch a battery-swapping network across Mumbai's metro and monorail stations.
The move makes Mumbai one of the first Indian cities to embed electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure into its public transport system.
As part of the initiative, 31 battery-swapping stations will be installed - 25 along the metro Lines, and six at monorail stops - with the aim of easing electric vehicle adoption among two- and three-wheeler users, especially delivery agents and fleet operators.
The first such 'E:swap' centre has already been commissioned at Dahisar East metro station.
The project is the first large-scale rollout under MMMOCL's newly adopted EV policy, approved in its 29th board meeting chaired by MMRDA Commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee.
