Director of transport department DC Negi signed the MoU on behalf of the state government, with Rahul Soni representing EVI Technology and Avinash Sharma representing Jio-BP, in the presence of chief minister (CM) Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
CM Sukhu said that the MoU was signed with two companies to enhance facilities across five selected green corridors in the state and this initiative marks a significant step towards achieving the state government's vision of a sustainable green future.

Apart from this Electroweb Company would work on developing the Shimla-Hamirpur-Chamba Green Corridors. As part of the project, the companies would establish EV charging stations, way-side amenities and supermarkets at 41 strategic locations along these corridors within a year.
The chief minister said for e-buses, e-trucks and other electric vehicles the charging facility would be made available in these 41 locations. Apart from this, public amenities such as toilets and restaurants would also be established in these places and the companies would pay ₹75 lakh annually as lease money to the state government.
