New Delhi Municipal Council                          |  Budget 2019 – 20
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        3.13   Electric Vehicles
        Depleting air quality and greenhouse gas emissions  requires Indian cities –
        and particularly New Delhi – to shift from internal combustion engine vehicles
        to more environment-friendly but cost-effective transport solutions.  The
        country is actively exploring cost effective and viable solutions to the problem
        of poor air quality in a number of its cities as well as reducing its excessive
        dependence on oil imports. The India has announced a significant shift to an
        all electric fleet by 2030. In this endeavor, NDMC has procured 32 electric
        vehicles (EVs) through EESL.

        3.14   Public e-charging stations
        NDMC has already established 28 AC and  9 DC charging stations for  its
        captive use. In the next step, NDMC is envisaging to install public e-charging
        stations at convenient places for ease of Electric Vehicle charging for general
        public. To achieve this, NDMC has signed an MoU with Energy Efficiency
        Services Ltd. (EESL), a company under Ministry of Power for installation of
        100 public e-charging facilities  in NDMC  area. Under  this, NDMC will
        provide the space at appropriate locations and EESL will bear the upfront cost
        and the will share the revenue with NDMC work will be completed by the
        March 2019.


        3.15   Health ATMs
        NDMC has installed a Health ATM at Palika Kendra Dispensary as a Pilot
        project. It has automated health screening with integrated devices with
        checkup option of  over 40  health parameters. The patients can just walk-in to
        the Health ATM  to get a quick preventive health check-up on prescription
        with doctors. Main features  of  it are basic health check up of body
        temperature, BP, Height,  weight, Bone Mass  and BMI, rapid test option &
        Instant test  report for epidemic diseases like Dengue, malaria, HIV and
        Typhoid,  all blood test, haemogram and Lipid profile, various Urine and
        Pregnancy test and ECG.I am proposing to install such Health ATMs at
        Charak Palika Hospital, Dharam Marg Polyclinic, Palika Maternity Hospital
        and TB Polyclinic in the year 2019-20.
