To start with, UP will set up three such stations along the Yamuna Expressway. CEO of the Greater Noida Authority Narendra Bhooshan said that now on all the apartment complexes, commercial buildings as well as IT parks seeking permission to develop 5,000 sq mt of land in Gautam Budh Nagar will be asked to make provisions for allowing charging of electric vehicles.
