The government has announced plans to build electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and a battery recycling plant as part of its push for sustainable transportation. The initiative aims to support the growing number of EVs on the road and reduce battery waste.
According to official statements, the project includes setting up charging stations in urban and highway locations, along with a facility to recycle lithium-ion batteries. The recycling plant will recover valuable materials like cobalt and lithium, reducing reliance on mining.
Details on funding and timeline are still pending, but the government expects the project to create jobs and cut carbon emissions. Environmental groups have welcomed the move, though they stress the need for clear targets and deadlines.
