Tata Power, one of India’s largest integrated power companies
and electric vehicle charging solutions providers, has made a notable stride towards
sustainable mobility by transitioning over 1000 of its EV charging points in Mumbai to
being powered by green energy.
With over 10000 EVs and growing four-wheelers on the roads, Mumbai is rapidly
embracing e-mobility. To support this growth, Tata Power is spearheading the
development of an extensive EV charging infrastructure throughout the city. Currently,
Mumbai is equipped with over 1000 green charging points out of which 44 are public, 385
are in residential societies, 58 are across commercial locations such as malls, hotels,
workplaces, etc, and 531 are fleet charging points. Their presence at strategic locations
ensures convenient access for EV owners.
Moreover, the network also extends along major highways, facilitating seamless intercity
travel for electric vehicle users. Tata Power has been providing EV charging services to
players like Everest, CAB-E and also has EV charging points at prominent residential
societies like Rustomjee Oriana, Rustomjee Elanza, Lodha The Park, Kalpataru Pinnacle,
Lodha Primero, The Reserve by Runwal across the city.
To encourage intercity travel along popular routes, Tata Power has installed over 19 fast
charging points on the Mumbai-Pune highway and about 26 fast charging points on the
Mumbai-Goa (via Pune) highway. Tata Power's dedication to enhancing nationwide EV
charging accessibility is evident through its comprehensive network that spans over 475
cities and towns, offering a variety of charging solutions tailored to meet the needs of
home users, public and semi-public, and bus fleets. With more than 73,000 home
chargers, 5,300+ public, semi-public, and fleet charging points, and 690+ bus charging
stations, Tata Power is at the forefront of driving the transition towards environment-friendly transportation.
Tata Power has outlined an ambitious plan to expand its green energy footprint to an
additional 4000 charging points across Maharashtra, in a phased manner. This expansion
aims to not only extend the reach of accessible EV charging solutions but also to ensure
that these facilities are powered by 100% renewable energy sources. This initiative is aligned with Tata Power's ‘Sustainable Is Attainable’ movement, positioning the company
as a pioneer in the shift towards a greener future.
By focusing on renewable energy sources for EV charging, Tata Power is not just
facilitating eco-friendly transportation but is also setting a benchmark for sustainability in
the energy sector. This strategic move is poised to inspire a nationwide paradigm shift,
encouraging other states to adopt similar green initiatives.
