Tata Power, Tata Motors to Launch 200 Fast EV Charging Stations in Metro Cities

Tata Power EV Charging Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited and a leading EV charging provider in India, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tata Motors Limited. The collaboration aims to establish 200 fast-charging stations for electric commercial vehicles across major metropolitan areas, including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. This initiative is designed to enhance the accessibility of charging infrastructure for small electric commercial vehicles, supporting the broader goal of promoting sustainable mobility solutions.

Through this collaboration, Tata Motors and Tata Power will introduce special charging tariffs exclusively for owners of Tata Motors' electric commercial vehicles (CVs). This initiative is aimed at reducing operating costs and boosting profitability for customers. As the charging network expands, electric CV users across India will benefit from access to nearly 1,000 strategically positioned fast chargers.

Vinay Pathak, Vice President & Business Head – SCV&PU, Tata Motors, expressed his thoughts on the partnership, saying, "We’re pleased to strengthen our partnership with Tata Power to transform the electric commercial vehicle landscape by ensuring ease of access of fast chargers at convenient locations across the country. It has been our endeavour to not only engineer and manufacture world-class electric vehicles, but also help develop the necessary ecosystem to democratize the use of these eco-friendly and emission-free vehicles. This partnership will also explore avenues to maximize the use of renewable energy to make electric vehicle operations greener”.

Deepesh Nanda, CEO & MD, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited, emphasised the importance of the expanded charging network. He stated, "With one of the largest EV Charging networks across the country, Tata Power has been enabling electric vehicle owners through its reliable and accessible charging solutions across the country. Already present across diverse segments such as public, semi-public, bus/fleet, and home chargers, we are expanding to the commercial vehicle charging segment, delivering integrated EV charging solutions. This collaboration underlines our commitment to accelerating e-mobility by providing an expansive and reliable EV Charging network across India".

Tata Power, under its EZ Charge brand, has expanded its network to include over 1,00,000 home chargers, more than 5,500 public, semi-public, and fleet charging points, as well as 1,100+ bus charging stations across 530 cities and towns. These chargers are strategically placed at convenient locations like highways, hotels, malls, hospitals, offices, and residential complexes. This comprehensive network has been instrumental in driving the adoption of electric mobility in India.

Tata Motors backs its electric commercial vehicles with over 150 Electric Vehicle Service Centres across the country. Among its key offerings, the Ace EV features an advanced battery management system and 'Fleet Edge' telematics. These technologies improve vehicle uptime and road safety by delivering real-time insights into the vehicle's status, health, location, and driver behavior.

The partnership between Tata Motors and Tata Power marks a major advancement in developing a strong ecosystem for electric commercial vehicles in India. By enhancing the charging infrastructure and providing cost-efficient solutions, this collaboration seeks to accelerate the adoption of eco-friendly, emission-free vehicles nationwide.
