Pune, 2nd September 2022: According to new orders passed by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), 20% of parking spaces should be reserved for electric vehicles during new constructions, and charging facilities should mandatorily be provided. The decision was made to reduce pollution in the city and promote electric vehicles (E vehicles).

According to the PMC, construction permission will be withheld if this facility is not provided.
