Nhev Programme And Government Association

The NHEV programme is an electric mobility and e-highway infrastructure initiative involving multiple public and private stakeholders.

The use of the terms “NHEV”, “National Highways for Electric Vehicles”, “e-highway”, “NHEV 3G Energy Station” or related terminology on this Platform does not, by itself, imply that NHEV Greenways is a Government department, Government company, statutory authority or governmental agency.

 

Where any activity, project, station, corridor, land parcel, approval, concession, permission, financing arrangement or service involves a Government authority, public sector undertaking, highway authority, land-owning agency, utility, regulator or other third party, such activity shall remain subject to the relevant approvals, agreements, permissions and applicable laws.

Any such commitment shall arise only upon execution of the applicable written agreement, Letter of Intent, Letter of Award, work order, allotment letter, concession agreement or other formal document authorised by the Company.

  • the Company may seek additional information or clarification;

Where specific terms have been issued for a particular project, procurement process, EOI, RFP, station allocation or partnership opportunity, those specific terms shall prevail over these general website Terms to the extent of any inconsistency.

  • all documents submitted to NHEV Greenways are genuine and verifiable.

Any proposed land onboarding, lease, licence, pledge, allotment or utilisation shall remain subject to separate documentation, due diligence, statutory approvals and execution of definitive agreements.

No information published on the Platform shall itself constitute a transfer, lease, licence, pledge, acquisition or creation of any right, title or interest in land.

  • taxes, duties and statutory levies shall be borne by the party legally responsible for such payment;

ESCROW, FINANCING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

Where a project involves project financing, escrow arrangements, station-level SPVs, bank facilities, letters of credit, security arrangements, annuity structures, asset financing or other financial mechanisms, such arrangements shall be governed exclusively by the applicable financing documents, escrow agreements, security documents and definitive project agreements.

  • an offer of credit;
  • an investment solicitation;
  • a guarantee of financing;
