The Narendra Modi government is mulling a 50 to 100 percent subsidy to electric vehicle charging infrastructure, sources privy to the developments told CNBC-TV18.

The matter has been already discussed by union heavy industries and the power ministry, and is seeking a cabinet nod, sources in the know told CNBC-TV18.
