These points will be exclusively maintained by Tata Power. The target of Tata Power is to establish such points in 100 locations to be identified jointly by the Government of Assam and Tata Power.

The target of the Assam Government to make two lakh electric vehicles ply in the State in the coming five years has lured many parties to set up electric vehicle charging centres in the state. Already, around 150 electric vehicle charging centres exist in Assam.
