Tata Power Installs 150 EV Charging Stations In Mumbai

Making way for clean energy transition, Tata Power has installed as many as 150 green energy-powered EV stations in Mumbai. These stations have been built in residential societies, malls, commercial complex and petrol pumps. This green drive on a massive scale by Tata Power is steered by renewable/clean energy sources like wind, solar, and hydropower. It is a step forward in Tata Power’s ‘Do Green’ mission.

In another initiative along the same lines, Tata Power has forged a collaboration with the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO), Maharashtra. The partnership looks to build up to 5,000 EV charging points across Maharashtra.

Sanjay Banga, President, T &D of Tata Power said, “Tata Power believes that smart actions taken today will have a big influence on the environment in the future. Our EV charging stations that are powered by clean energy will help in the promotion of e-mobility. We firmly believe Mumbai citizens will lead the ‘Do Green’ drive and serve as a role model for other major cities considering faster EV adoption.”

Last month, Hyundai Motor and Tata Power had joined hands to develop an electric vehicle charging stations’ network. The initiative also looks to amplify EV adoption in India. 29 cities stand to gain from this collaboration since they will be home to charging stations worth 60 kW DC that will be built at 34 EV dealerships of Hyundai. The objective is to serve all kinds of electric vehicles through Hyundai and Tata Power EZ Charge Mobile App which will enable EV drivers to navigate, locate, make payments, access live status and pre-book slots for the charging stations.

Tata Power claimed to have served solar rooftop, DSM Programs, and home automation to people in Mumbai. In the city, over 17,000 customers have chosen sources of green power, thereby mitigating close to 126 Kilo tonnes of carbon emission.

Tata Power is a strong player in the EV charging solutions sector, given that it boasts of a network of over 13,000 home chargers (for private use), 2200 public EV chargers across 350 cities, and more than 200 electric bus charging points installed across the country.
