Tata Power EV Charging Solutions and Tata Motors have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish 200 fast-charging stations for electric commercial vehicles in major Indian cities.
The agreement aims to expand the charging infrastructure for small electric commercial vehicles in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.
The collaboration includes plans to offer exclusive charging tariffs for Tata Motors’ electric commercial vehicle owners. With this expansion, electric commercial vehicle users are expected to have access to nearly 1,000 fast chargers across India.
