New Delhi: Mahindra has officially inaugurated its first two Charge_IN ultra-fast charging stations, one at Hoskote on NH75, Bengaluru-Chennai highway, and another at Murthal on NH44, around 50Km from Delhi. Each site houses two ultra-fast chargers, capable of powering up to four EVs simultaneously, marking a significant step toward building India’s high-speed EV charging backbone. Mahindra plans to establish 250 such stations, each equipped with 180 kW chargers, totalling over 1,000 charging points by 2027. This initiative is part of the company’s vision to UNLIMIT electric mobility through the Charge_IN network, in line with the government push to strengthen public EV infrastructure and accelerate adoption across India.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, Chief Executive Officer, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Executive Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., stated that, “Electric mobility is about driving a larger shift towards cleaner, sustainable transportation. XEV 9e and BE 6, with their impressive 500km 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 for the drivers, thereby building customer confidence and accelerating India’s transition to electric mobility.
Mahindra’s pioneering Charge_IN network will exclusively feature 180 kW dual gun chargers designed to deliver faster, more convenient, and reliable charging for electric four-wheelers. Capable of charging the Mahindra eSUV portfolio XEV 9e, BE 6, and upcoming XEV 9s from 20 to 80% in 20 minutes, the Charge_IN network will make long-distance electric travel practical, efficient, and stress-free. The Charge_IN stations will be strategically positioned along major highway corridors. Each station will be co-located with the wayside amenities such as restaurants and cafes, making them natural halting points for travellers. Mahindra eSUV owners can access Charge_IN from Mahindra’s Me4U application to discover charging stations, charge and pay. These fast charging stations will also be accessible to other brands’ electric vehicle users through the Charge_IN by Mahindra application and through other leading aggregator platforms.
