- ✅ Maruti Suzuki: Aiming to support its upcoming EV models, Maruti Suzuki intends to install 1,500 EV chargers at its service stations and offer home installation services. The goal is to ensure a charging point is available every 5-10 kilometres in major cities, enhancing convenience for EV users.
- ✅ Hyundai Motor India: The company plans to increase its public fast-charging stations from 50 to 600 by 2031. Additionally, Hyundai offers access to 10,000 charging points through collaborations with private operators, facilitating a seamless charging experience for its customers.
- ✅ Government Initiatives: State-owned fuel retailers such as Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum have collectively established one of India's largest EV charging networks, spanning over 18,000 locations. This expansion is supported by government incentives worth $230 million aimed at promoting the setup of fast-charging stations.
Surge in EV Adoption and Market Growth
The Indian EV market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by increased consumer awareness and favourable policies:
