New Delhi : Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHELNSE 1.14 %) will set up a network of Solar-based Electric Vehicle Chargers (SEVC) on the Delhi-Chandigarh Highway. The project is covered under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles in India of the Department of Heavy Industry (DHI).  The establishment of EV chargers at regular intervals over the entire 250 kms stretch between Delhi and Chandigarh would allay range-anxiety among the Electric Vehicle users and bolster their confidence for inter-city travel, an official statement said.

BHEL is also executing another commercial order for installation of DC chargers across various locations in the country, the statement said. BHEL is also foraying into manufacturing of EV chargers, electric buses and related critical components.
