Overview

• More than 18,000 public chargers were added in roughly 15 months through joint efforts by governments, automakers and vendors.
• Fast chargers now sit within 50 km on 91% of national highways, with states and UTs such as Karnataka, Haryana, Delhi, Kerala, Bihar, Punjab, Goa, Tripura, Sikkim, Chandigarh, Puducherry, Daman & Diu, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli reporting full NH coverage.
• The top quarter of charging sites are already profitable, signaling early commercial viability even as the network scales.
• Reliability remains a constraint after reports in early 2024 of nearly 12,000 non‑functional chargers and survey findings that 38% of customers worry about charger uptime.
• Consumer behavior is shifting as 35% of Tata EV owners use fast charging monthly, 77% have taken trips needing public charging, half have completed journeys over 500 km, and EV registrations now reach 65% of Indian pin codes with 84% treating EVs as their primary vehicle.
