Abstract:

The MS-Excel-based tool ‘Financial Analysis of Charging station (FACt)’ (the “Tool”) has been developed by WRI India, under the NDC-Transport Initiative for Asia (NDCTIA). This user-friendly tool  offers a flexible and transparent method to conduct a quick preliminary assessment of the financial justification for setting up a public charging infrastructure. The Financial Analysis of Charging station (FACt) Tool helps city agencies in identifying the financial barriers that hamper private sector deployment of PCSs, enabling stakeholders to design policies to overcome them. This model is particularly useful for entities that are interested in gaining a foundational understanding of PCS finances in India, such as financial institutions, policymakers/regulators, real estate companies, urban local bodies, and implementing agencies.
