Contributing to the nation's endeavour to reduce carbon emissions, Central Railways has set up 9 EV (Electric Vehicle) charging facilities at major railway stations in the Mumbai Division. As per the press release issued by Central Railways, the move is aimed at boosting e-mobility, as a crucial step towards environmental stability.

Reportedly, an EV charging facility will be made available at nine major railway stations, namely, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Dadar, Byculla, Parel, Kurla, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, Bhandup, Kalyan and Panvel.
