GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd. (GHIAL) has launched two sustainable initiatives, an EV (Electric Vehicle) charging station at main car park and a bio-diesel filling station at the Public Transportation Center (PTC).
The ‘fast-charging’ station is accessible to all EV users and with 30 KW, it can charge a four-wheeler from empty to full in about an hour. The charging station is app-based and compatible for use through Android and IOS App mobile devices, informed an official spokesperson on Tuesday.
The EV stations are to encourage use of electric vehicles making the airport an enabler of clean energy as it prevents pollution, maintains an optimum level of ambient noise around the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) premises and improves the Air Quality Index (AQI).
