Hyderabad: In a major boost toward E-mobility, the Secunderabad Division of South Central Railway has awarded a contract for setting up E-Vehicle charging stations at 32 important railway stations in Secunderabad division.

E-mobility is an important step towards environmental sustainability as it reduces carbon emissions and improves the quality of life apart from facilitating low maintenance needs. With the continuous increase in the usage of electric vehicles, the provision of charging points for vehicles at the railway station will provide additional facilities to the passengers.
