“The holy city of Amritsar is also being developed as a smart city in recent years. A clean and carbon- less mobility system is one of the key and indispensable components of an emerging smart city ecosystem. With the installation of this charging station, needless to say, it would make life much easy for countless EV users in the city making their daily commute hassle-free and comfortable.

Our Amritsar mall is a particularly lively and vibrant destination for people of all tastes and preferences.

The provision for cleaner and greener mobility is a part of that futuristic perspective and we are glad that by teaming up with Statiq, we are playing our part, Col. Mandeep Singh, Center Director Nexus Amritsar, said.
