A new EV charging infrastructure tender has appeared on the BHEL EVC portal under the PM e-DRIVE scheme targeting Uttar Pradesh. Proposal No. PMEDRIVE/UPREV/P0277, dated 17 March 2026 and uploaded to the portal on 16 June 2026, covers the deployment of 238 EV charging stations with a combined 714 chargers — making it the largest tender currently live on the BHEL EVC platform by both station and charger count.
Scope and Scale
The UP tender under Proposal P0277 targets 238 public EV charging stations across Uttar Pradesh. With 714 chargers across these stations, the average deployment is approximately 3 chargers per station — consistent with the multi-gun fast-charging station model promoted under PM e-DRIVE. Uttar Pradesh is among India’s highest-priority states for EV charging infrastructure rollout given its large vehicle population and urbanisation rate.
The tender was issued under the UPREV programme — Uttar Pradesh’s EV infrastructure development vertical — coordinated through the Ministry of Heavy Industries’ PM e-DRIVE framework. The full document (available as a RAR archive on the BHEL portal) contains the complete scope, eligibility criteria, financial requirements, and submission timelines.
