Mahindra to Set Up 250 Ultrafast EV Charging Stations

Mumbai- Mahindra & Mahindra Limited., has announced plans to set up 250 electric vehicle fast-charging stations, each equipped with 180 kW chargers, delivering over 1,000 charging points by the end of 2027. This initiative is part of the company’s vision to UNLIMIT electric mobility through its Charge_IN ultrafast charging network and is aligned with the Government of India’s focus on strengthening public EV charging infrastructure to speed up EV adoption in the country.

Mahindra has already inaugurated the first two Charge_IN stations at Hoskote on NH 75 (Bengaluru–Chennai highway) and at Murthal on NH 44, about 50 km from Delhi. These launches mark a significant step towards creating India’s high-speed EV charging backbone. Each of these stations is equipped with two ultrafast chargers, enabling simultaneous charging of up to four EVs.

The Charge_IN network will exclusively feature 180 kW dual-gun chargers, engineered to provide faster, more convenient and reliable charging for electric four-wheelers. Capable of charging Mahindra’s eSUV portfolio – XEV 9e, BE 6 and the upcoming XEV 9S – from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, the network is designed to make long-distance electric travel practical, efficient and stress-free.

Strategically located along major highway corridors, Charge_IN stations will be co-located with wayside amenities such as restaurants and cafés, making them natural halts for travellers – allowing you to enjoy a coffee while your EV fast charges. Mahindra eSUV owners can access Charge_IN via the Mahindra Me4U app to locate stations, initiate charging and make payments. The fast-charging network will also be open to other EV brands through the “Charge_IN by Mahindra” app and leading aggregator platforms. Through the Me4U app, customers can currently access approximately 34,000 public charging points across various Charge Point Operators, including Charge_IN.

Mr. Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer - Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., said, “Electric mobility is about driving a larger shift towards cleaner, sustainable transportation. XEV 9e and BE 6, with their impressive 500 km real-world range, ensure drivers feel confident on long journeys. Meanwhile, with our ultrafast charging network by Charge_IN we will be creating an open and accessible network for all EV users. Our aim is to make long-distance travel with an electric vehicle effortless and reliable like conventional driving, thereby building customer confidence and accelerating India's transition to electric mobility.”
