Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India in the press release shared, “There has been a significant push from the government in the infrastructure sector as seen from the Union Budget FY18-19. It also recommended the promotion of affordable housing with the establishment of a dedicated affordable housing fund (AHF) in the National Housing Bank. This drive has provided a huge potential for stakeholders in the sector. From roadways, railways to airports and other smart-city initiatives, the last few years have witnessed a phenomenal growth in the sector, leading to world-class facilities coming up across the country. Also, the Indian government’s move to cut GST rates on construction equipment from 28 per cent to18 per cent has resulted in unprecedented demand in India over the last few months. Against this landscape, we at UBM India firmly believe that the Concrete Show India 2018 will prove to be a channel to the opportunities existing in India’s rapidly growing concrete market.”

Central government is likely to offer financial incentives to those interested in offering necessary infrastructure for electric charging stations. It will also help in procuring land from various municipal bodies for the project. This move comes in light with the growing market for electric vehicles and the need to set up electric charging points for commuters.

Public sector companies operating in the energy sector such as NTPC Limited, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited are expected to commence the procedure to set up charging stations at a number of sites in selected cities.

In Maharashtra, NTPC has already started setting up these facilities. In another partnership Power Grid Corp last week had shared that they have signed an agreement with L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Ltd for setting up charging infrastructure at metro stations for e-cars and electronic three wheeler in Hyderabad. The company officials also expressed they plan to set up similar facilities at all metro rail corridors in future.

Major automakers in the country like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra as well as cab companies like Uber and Ola have expressed the desire to set up charging stations for electric vehicles in the country.

A senior government official while explaining the plan communicated that in next 3-5 years approximately 30,000 slow charging points and 15,000 fast charging stations will be needed to set up systematically and phase wise. Besides this one-fast charging point and two high-charge points will be needed at every 3km. Similarly at highways too such stations will be needed at every 50 kms.

In coming months land for the proposed charging point stations will be identified after consulting various local authorities in respective states. Companies who show interest in this project will be given long-term lease for setting up the facilities, added the government official. PSUs will be offered subsidies to kick-off the programme.

As per sources from National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), six stations in Gujarat will be constructed in villages which are away from existing railways stations. These locations include Anand, Vapi, Surat, Bharuch and Bilimora.

Subsequent to crossing Ahmedabad, where the projected arrangement runs corresponding to the existing Ahmedabad-Mumbai railway line, the first bullet train station for commuters from NRI-rich belt of Charotar region consisting of of Anand and Kheda districts, will come up at Kheda’s Uttarsanda village that is known for its rich varieties of ‘papad’.

Uttarsanda location has been finalised owing to its close proximity to Anand and Kheda. It will make it easier for commuters to board and off board the train. But this station will be at a longer distance from Nadiad and Anand railway stations.

Once the train crosses the Vadodara stretch, the next station is planned at Dahegam village near Bharuch-Dahej Road in Bharuch district. In Surat the station will be made at Antroli village which around nine kilometres from Surat Rail Station.

The next station after Surat will be made at Kesali village which is approximately 3 km from Bilimora. This station will handle commuters from Valsad, Navsari as well as Bilimora. The last junction in Gujarat will be Vapi and the station is planned to come up at Dungra village.

To implement the entire project for construction of stations in Gujarat, NHSRCL officials will have to acquire around 875 hectares land. The officials have already started consultative meetings at Surat, Vadodara, Bharuch, Kheda and Anand. They will soon hold talks in Navsari and Valsad districts soon in order to start land acquisition for the proposed projects.
