Tata Power EV Charging Solutions (TPEVCSL), a division of the Tata Power Group, is collaborating with Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) to deploy over 500 fast and ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging points throughout India. This initiative, outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two entities, aims to fortify the country's EV charging infrastructure. The planned charging points will be strategically placed in key cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune, and Kochi, as well as along major highways including the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Salem-Kochi Highway, Guntur-Chennai Highway, and the Golden Quadrilateral. Virendra Goyal, Head of Business Development-EV Charging at Tata Power, emphasised the strategic significance of the collaboration with IOCL, stating that it is a step towards establishing a robust EV charging network.
