Tata Power and Tata Motors Launch Mega EV Charging Hub in MumbaI

11 Sep 2025 CW Team

The facility is equipped with eight fast DC chargers of up to 120 kW and offers 16 charging bays, enabling 16 electric vehicles to charge simultaneously. This eliminates long wait times and ensures convenience for a wide mix of EV users, including private car owners, taxis, ride-hailing fleets, and logistics operators.

The co-branded hub was inaugurated by Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD of Tata Power, and Shailesh Chandra, MD of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility.

India has set an ambitious goal of 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030, with infrastructure expansion playing a critical role. The MegaCharger hub marks a significant step towards supporting this national vision and strengthening Mumbai’s EV ecosystem.

Meanwhile, on World EV Day, several other industry players announced initiatives:

Bolt.Earth partnered with Youdha to co-develop home charging and earthing solutions for electric three-wheelers, signing an MoU to accelerate EV adoption.
Divya Chandra, MD of Atul Greentech, highlighted India’s leadership in the EV transition, noting 1.42 million EVs were sold in India in the first eight months of 2025.
Rajat Verma, CEO of LOHUM, stressed EVs’ role in sustainability and climate action, aligning with this year’s theme “Better Manifesto”.
Ayush Lohia, CEO of Zuperia Auto, underscored the need for awareness and infrastructure to match growing government support for EV adoption.

With 58 million EVs already on roads worldwide, the pace of adoption is accelerating, and India’s push for robust charging infrastructure is expected to further fuel growth in the sector.
