The National Energy Conservation and Conservation Authority (NEECA) has announced that 3,800 investors and companies—both local and international—have shown keen interest in establishing EV charging infrastructure across Pakistan.
According to Dr Moazaam, Managing Director of NEECA, the authority has so far issued licenses for 71 EV charging stations. Of these, 30 to 35 stations are already operational and have formally applied for registration. He further disclosed that an additional 128 applications are currently under process.
“The active exchange of information is underway with a number of international and local firms, and some companies are in the final stages of completing documentation,” said Dr Moazaam, speaking to SAMAA TV.
He attributed the surge in investor interest to a recent government decision to reduce the electricity tariff specifically for EV charging stations—a move aimed at encouraging faster infrastructure development and easing the shift to electric mobility in the country.
“Licenses are being issued within 15 days once companies complete their required documentation,” the NEECA chief said, adding that the streamlined process is part of the government's broader plan to facilitate green investments.
