The state of Uttarakhand in India has taken steps to promote the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by approving a proposal to amend the Building Construction and Development By-Laws/Regulations, 2011. Under the new regulations, all non-residential buildings with an area greater than 1,500 square meters, including group housing, hotels, multiplexes, and lodges, except for single residential buildings, must install EV charging infrastructure.
Existing buildings will have to provide EV charging infrastructure on 3% of the equivalent car space (ECS) or one ECS bay for two-wheelers, and 2% ECS bay or one ECS bay for four-wheelers. In newly constructed buildings on over 1,500 square meters of land, charging facilities must be provided at a minimum of 10% ECS for municipal corporation towns and 5% ECS for other towns, or one ECS, whichever is higher, of the approved parking ECS. The ratio of charging facilities for two-wheelers and four-wheelers will be 60:40.
The state also approved changes to the Mukhyamantri Saur Swarozgar Yojana to make the scheme more financially viable. The scheme guideline will be operated under Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Policy-2015 instead of the Chief Minister's self-employment scheme. As a result, the subsidy to the applicant, which previously ranged from 15% to 25%, will now increase to 15% to 40%.
The state also revised the regulations for solar power plants, increasing the permissible capacity from 20-25 kW to 50 kW, 100 kW, and 200 kW. The rate for the plant cost was also increased from Rs 40,000 per kW to Rs 50,000 per kW.
To regulate the land of different categories in the state, discussions were held during the cabinet meeting. The Chief Minister has been authorized to constitute a cabinet sub-committee to look into the matter. District-level development authorities will spend 10% of the development fee received from map approval on administrative work and 90% on infrastructure development. The state will also provide 10% of the development fee received by authorities to improve slums under local municipal bodies for slum rehabilitation.
The Uttarakhand Road Transport Accident Relief Fund (amendment) rules, 2023, were also amended to increase the upper limit of the compensation amount from Rs 25 lakh to Rs 50 lakh. The requirement for a magisterial probe to receive compensation has been lifted. Additionally, tour operators will be registered and licensed to generate revenue. To oversee works and proposals related to the G-20 Summit, the cabinet formed a high-power committee under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary.
In conclusion, the state of Uttarakhand has taken several steps to promote the use of EVs, provide better financial assistance for solar power plants, improve the infrastructure in the state, and improve the quality of life for its citizens. These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the environment, the economy, and the well-being of the people of Uttarakhand.
