The Chandigarh Renewable Energy and Science & Technology Promotion Society (CREST) has so far disbursed INR 34.73 crore in incentives under the UT EV Policy, including INR 1.94 crore as an early bird incentive, boosting EV adoption.
As of Dec 31, 2024, 5,118 applications were received. Also, 24 EV charging stations, including 9 battery swapping stations, were fully energised across Chandigarh.
CREST has now rolled out the beta version of the Electric Vehicle (EV) portal – ChandigarhEV.com, which is set to go live from Friday, Feb 14, 2025.
ChandigarhEV.com is currently in its beta phase and remains under development. During this phase, the portal will be operational, but the existing hard copy process will continue in parallel to address any issues and improve the platform based on real-time feedback. This approach ensures a smooth transition to a fully digital system.
Speaking at the event, the CEO of CREST said, “This portal is currently in the testing phase. After receiving feedback, it will be launched appropriately in the coming month. The beta version of this portal is a significant step towards making EV incentives more accessible and efficient.”
