The Andhra Pradesh government has officially launched the Andhra Pradesh Sustainable Electric Mobility Policy 4.0, designating five cities—Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Nellore, and Tirupati—as model e-mobility cities. This initiative aims to enhance urban transport efficiency and reduce pollution by promoting electric vehicle (EV) adoption through the development of necessary infrastructure. A dedicated fund of ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million USD) has been allocated, with ₹50 crore for each city to support the establishment of EV charging stations, battery swapping stations, and zero-emission zones. The plan includes one EV charging station per 3x3 km grid within cities and one every 30 km along inter-city corridors. This policy is expected to attract investments in EV manufacturing and create employment opportunities, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a leader in sustainable urban reforms and integrated infrastructure planning. The framework also aligns with national EV norms and aims to establish a replicable model for electric mobility-led urban transformation.
