TATA.ev to boost India’s charging Infrastructure to 400,000 Charge Points

Hyderabad: TATA.ev, the leader of India’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution, today announced a bold, groundbreaking initiative to transform the nation’s charging infrastructure. Building on the success of surpassing 200,000 EV sales, TATA.ev boosted its commitment to make EVs more accessible and convenient by more than doubling the number of available charge points to 400,000 by 2027.

Since 2019, TATA.ev has been at the forefront of advancing Indias EV charging infrastructure. First, by partnering with Tata Group companies to introduce seamless private/home charging solutions and then kick-starting public charging infrastructure in and around cities with the fastest EV adoption, providing crucial support and encouragement for early adopters to switch to EVs.

To drive the next phase of growth, TATA.ev launched its ‘Open Collaboration’ framework in 2023, forging strategic partnerships with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). This collaboration focused on expanding charging infrastructure across key hotspots, particularly along highways, to ensure seamless long-distance mobility. As a result, the number of public charging points in India has more than doubled in just 15 months, surpassing 18,000 chargers. TATA.ev’s cumulative impact includes the installation of over 1.5 lakh private/home chargers, 2,500 community chargers, and 750 chargers at TATA dealerships across more than 200 cities.

To achieve this, TATA.ev is strengthening its collaboration with key Charging Point Operators (CPOs) to install 30,000 new public charging points. These charging stations will support all EV makes and brands, ensuring widespread accessibility, convenience, and a mutually beneficial ecosystem for all EV users, charge point operators, and infrastructure planners. This expansive, seamless network of public, community, and private/home chargers will meet the rising demand for emission-free mobility, accelerate EV adoption, and fast-track India’s shift towards green, sustainable future.

To enable the exponential growth of EVs in India, we’ve launched Open Collaboration 2.0, aiming to expand the charging network to over 400,000 points in the next two years, in partnership with leading CPOs. This initiative will enhance the speed, reliability, and user experience of charging while improving the viability of CPOs and facilitating their growth. To enhance the charging experience, we are introducing through partnerships, TATA.ev Mega Chargers in key cities and highways, along with TATA.ev Verified Chargers assuring quality infrastructure.
