CHARGEZONE has announced plans to deploy over 1,000 supercharging stations across India’s key highway corridors by FY2027, marking a major push towards strengthening the country’s EV charging infrastructure. The rollout will follow a Dealer Owned, Company Operated (DOCO) model and is supported by a financing partnership with State Bank of India (SBI).
Aligned with the Government of India’s PM E-Drive initiative, the expansion will focus on high-traffic routes such as Delhi–Mumbai, Bengaluru–Hyderabad, Mumbai–Hyderabad, Delhi–Chandigarh, Bengaluru–Chennai, Vizag–Chennai and Mumbai–Bengaluru. The network aims to cater to both passenger EVs and commercial electric mobility across highways and freight corridors.
Under the DOCO model, CHARGEZONE is opening up investment opportunities for landowners, entrepreneurs and institutions, with projects starting from ₹1 crore. While investors own the assets, CHARGEZONE will handle development, commissioning and operations, ensuring consistent service standards across the network.
Mr. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO, CHARGEZONE, said the initiative is designed to address the growing need for high-capacity and reliable charging infrastructure as EV adoption expands beyond urban centres. He added that the planned stations, with capacities ranging from 500 kW to 1.5 MW, will support large-scale EV movement and play a critical role in achieving India’s electrification goals.
To enable wider participation, the company has partnered with SBI under the EV Mitra scheme, offering structured financing solutions ranging from ₹10 lakh to ₹10 crore, with repayment tenures of up to seven years. The scheme also includes support under CGTMSE and co-investment options, making it easier for investors to enter the EV infrastructure space.
In parallel, CHARGEZONE is advancing its Project E-DHARA initiative, which integrates renewable energy with charging infrastructure. By combining solar power, battery energy storage systems and high-speed chargers, the company aims to ensure reliable, round-the-clock operations while reducing dependence on grid supply.
