The government is continuously promoting electric vehicles. Along with the government, now the big companies of the country are also actively participating in it. The most important thing to increase the penetration of electric vehicles in the country is to have maximum presence of charging stations.
The country’s leading businessman Mukesh Ambani is already working on the charging station. Recently Gautam Adani also announced that they will set up charging stations across the country. Now after this, Tata, the oldest business house of the country, has also jumped into it.
Announcement of 5,000 public charging stations across the country
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, a Tata Group company, has announced to install 5,000 public charging stations across the country by the end of this year. For this, Tata has joined hands with the state-owned oil company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited.
Charging stations will be installed at these places
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility (TPEM), a unit of Tata Motors, said on Wednesday that charging stations will be installed at HPCL petrol pumps under this partnership. These stations will be installed at locations frequented by more than 1.2 lakh Tata electric vehicle owners.
Both the organizations have signed an MOU in this regard. Companies are also exploring possibilities of introducing convenient payment systems through co-branded RFID cards.
There is a network of 21,500 petrol pumps
HPCL has a network of over 21,500 petrol pumps. The company aims to install 5,000 electric vehicle charging stations by December 2024. According to Balaji Rajan, Chief Strategy Officer, TPEM, this strategic partnership with HPCL reflects our commitment to advance India’s EV ecosystem. Charging infrastructure is important in this. Infrastructure development is essential to increase the customer base of electric vehicles.
