Overview

• Indofast Energy, a 50:50 joint venture between Indian Oil Corporation and SUN Mobility, has activated 80 battery swap stations across 25 South Central Railway hubs.
• Facilities include 56 sites in the Secunderabad division and 24 in the Hyderabad division, covering major commuter and delivery routes.
• Two- and three-wheeler users can exchange depleted batteries for fully charged units in minutes, reducing downtime and range anxiety for ride-share and delivery operators.
• The rollout aligns with Indian Railways’ e-mobility policy to curb emissions and congestion around station precincts through public-private collaboration.
• Indofast Energy plans to install 40 additional swap sites in the next three months and build a 10,000-station network across 40 cities by 2028.
