Integrated power company Tata Power will establish 20 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for the public in the textile city of Coimbatore.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Virendra Goyal, company's head of business development for EV charging, said, "We are pleased to partner with Coimbatore Municipal Corporation, which is the second largest corporation in Tamil Nadu, to provide optimal EV charging solutions to all EV users in the city and nearby areas."
