Servotech Power Systems Ltd., a pioneering manufacturer of EV chargers and solar solutions, has taken a monumental step in sustainable energy and electric vehicle infrastructure by inaugurating Delhi’s first grid-connected Solar-Powered EV Charging Carport. This innovative project, developed in collaboration with the National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI), represents a significant stride towards a greener urban landscape.
The Solar-Powered EV Charging Carport, located at the Hauz Khas Village parking station, serves as a pilot project that integrates renewable energy with electric vehicle charging. Servotech has been instrumental in manufacturing, designing, and commissioning the solar panels and EV chargers utilised in the carport. The company also played a key role in designing and implementing the overall infrastructure.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by Dr. Philipp Ackermann, German Ambassador to India and Bhutan, who served as the chief guest. He was joined by notable dignitaries including Raman Bhatia, Founder and Managing Director of Servotech Power Systems Ltd., Amarjeet Singh, CEO of BSES Yamuna Power Limited, Chintan Shah, Principal Advisor at NSEFI, and Subrahmanyam Pulipaka, CEO of NSEFI.
This groundbreaking initiative is a collaborative effort between NSEFI and the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V (BSW), in cooperation with BSES and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The Solar-Powered EV Charging Carport was established under the KVP project framework, supported by the German non-profit company Sequa GmbH. This project is part of the Business Membership Organisation Partnerships of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The PV Carport introduces a new business model for Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) and business operators, promoting the replacement of last-mile delivery vehicles with an electric fleet. The system facilitates fast charging for two and four-wheelers in under an hour, enhancing the efficiency of delivery services in inner-city and confined spaces.
Raman Bhatia, Founder and Managing Director of Servotech Power Systems Ltd., expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are thrilled to inaugurate Delhi’s first solar-powered EV charging carport along with NSEFI, marking a significant step towards sustainable urban mobility for a greener future. The newly inaugurated solar carport exemplifies our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance living conditions through sustainable technology. This initiative will prove to be beneficial in decarbonising mobility and electricity through solar energy.”
Bhatia further emphasised the dynamic growth of India’s solar and energy storage sectors, noting that integrating renewable energy solutions into infrastructure addresses current environmental challenges and paves the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. “Servotech stands for innovation and is committed to leading the charge in sustainable energy solutions, driving positive change for the environment and society,” he added.
