Mahindra has inaugurated its first two Charge_IN ultrafast charging stations-one at Hoskote on NH75, Bengaluru-Chennai highway, and another at Murthal on NH44, around 50 km from Delhi. Each site houses two ultra-fast chargers, capable of powering up to four EVs simultaneously, marking a significant step toward building India's high-speed EV charging backbone.
Looking ahead, Mahindra plans to establish 250 such stations, each equipped with 180 kW chargers, totaling over 1,000 charging points by 2027. This initiative is part of the company's vision to UNLIMIT electric mobility through the Charge_IN network, in line with the government's push to strengthen public EV infrastructure and accelerate adoption across India.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer - Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, "Electric mobility is about driving a larger shift towards cleaner, sustainable transportation. XEV 9e and BE 6, with their impressive 500 km real-world range, ensure drivers feel confident on long journeys. Meanwhile, with our ultrafast charging network by Charge_IN we will be creating an open and accessible network for all EV users. Our aim is to make long-distance travel with an electric vehicle effortless and reliable like conventional driving, thereby building customer confidence and accelerating India's transition to electric mobility."
Mahindra's pioneering Charge_IN network will exclusively feature 180 kW dual gun chargers designed to deliver faster, more convenient, and reliable charging for electric four-wheelers. Capable of charging the Mahindra eSUV portfolio - XEV 9e, BE 6 and upcoming XEV 9S from 20 to 80 percent in 20 minutes, the Charge_IN network will make long-distance electric travel practical, efficient, and stress-free.
The Charge_IN stations will be strategically positioned along major highway corridors. Each station will be co-located with wayside amenities such as restaurants, cafes, making them natural halting points for travellers. You can sip your coffee while your electric car fast charges and gets you going.
Mahindra eSUVs owners can access Charge_IN from Mahindra's Me4U app to discover charging stations, charge and pay. These fast-charging stations will also be accessible to other brands' electric vehicle users through "Charge_IN by Mahindra" app, and through other leading aggregator platforms.
