Tata.ev has inaugurated its first set of ten MegaChargers in India, covering multiple locations across the country. This marks the initial phase of the brand's effort to install 500 high-speed charging stations in the country. It is to be noted that the charging station installations have been developed in partnership with ChargeZone and Statiq. These have been positioned along the major highway corridors and urban centers in the country.
The charging infrastructure has three stations along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, four on the Delhi-Jaipur highway, and more points on the Pune-Nashik route, as well as in Bengaluru and Udaipur. The flagship 400 kW MegaCharger located in Vadodara is capable of charging up to six vehicles at once, providing around 150 km of range in just 15 minutes.

This initiative comes as part of TATA.ev's plan to expand the network of charging stations in India to 400,000 by 2027, significantly increasing the existing infrastructure. The company has embraced an 'Open Collaboration' approach to work alongside various Charge Point Operators and Oil Marketing Companies.
Commenting on the development, Balaje Rajan, Chief Strategy Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said, “At a time when EV adoption is on its growth path, ubiquitous and dependable charging infrastructure is the need of the hour. These first 10 TATA.ev MegaCharger sites in key EV corridors of the country are the first tranche of a superfast charging network that we will have across major highways."
"The TATA.ev MegaCharger network will increasingly connect all major cities across India to remove charging anxiety. We are on a mission to provide fast, reliable, and effortless charging that enables seamless mobility across the country – and we are just getting started,” he added.
