Mumbai Metro Launches EV Battery Swap Stations

On Environment Day 2025, the Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL) partnered with Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt Ltd to install battery swapping stations for electric vehicles at 25 metro and six monorail stations across Mumbai. This landmark initiative positions Mumbai as one of the first metro cities in India to integrate electric vehicle (EV) battery infrastructure with public transport systems.
The partnership represents the first large-scale rollout under MMMOCL’s newly approved EV Policy, designed to promote green mobility and last-mile connectivity. Approved at the 29th Board Meeting chaired by MMRDA Commissioner Dr Sanjay Mukherjee (IAS), the policy forms part of the broader vision to develop sustainable and citizen-friendly urban transport solutions.
The e-swap battery system enables electric two- and three-wheeler users to quickly replace their depleted batteries with fully charged ones in under two minutes. This provides greater convenience for daily commuters, delivery riders, and fleet operators, encouraging the shift to electric mobility.
Stations along Metro Line-7 (Red Line) and Line-2A (Yellow Line), including Gundavali, Goregaon East, Dindoshi, Andheri West, and Malad West, will host these new facilities. Monorail stations such as Wadala, Chembur, and Mint Colony are also part of the rollout. All installations will comply with stringent technical, safety, and environmental standards to ensure high performance and accessibility.
The initiative is expected to generate around Rs 3 million in non-fare box revenue (NFBR), contributing to MMMOCL’s financial sustainability while furthering Mumbai’s green infrastructure goals.
Commenting on the development, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “Battery swapping stations at public transit hubs will ease EV adoption for delivery personnel, daily riders, and operators. It’s a strong example of how green technology can serve public interest.”
Deputy Chief Minister and MMRDA Chairman Eknath Shinde echoed the sentiment, stating, “Green infrastructure is no longer a luxury but a necessity. This step takes us closer to an integrated, climate-resilient transport system.”
Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, Chairman of MMMOCL, added, “The first e-swap centre has already been installed at Dahisar East Metro Station. This is a major milestone in our mission to create a low-emission, future-ready urban mobility network.”
