India: Tata.ev partners with Shell for 21 Mega Charging Hubs

Tata.ev, officially Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited (TPEML), has partnered with Shell to expand its fast-charging network in India. The duo plans to establish 21 Mega Charging Hubs across key metro cities and major highway corridors as part of this initiative.

Tata.ev and Shell will set up the new charging stations across Pune (Maharashtra) and Vadodara (Gujarat) in the western part of India and Bengaluru (Karnataka), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), and Mysuru (Karnataka) in the south. These outlets will offer 120 kW fast chargers, potentially allowing customers to charge their electric cars from 10 to 80 per cent SoC in around 30 minutes.

In Bengaluru, Tata.ev and Shell will set up the Mega Charging Hubs in nine new locations: Avalahalli, Chandapura, Devanahalli, Hennur Road, Kanakapura Road, Mysore Road, Prestige Tech Park, Thanisandra, and Yeshwanthpur. These outlets will expand the Tata MegaCharger network in the city to 13 cities.

In Chennai, Tata.ev and Shell will build five Mega Charging Hubs on 200ft. Link Road and in Ambattur, Chromepet, Maduravoyal, and Thaiyur. In Mysuru, the partners will set up a hub on the Mangalore-Mysuru highway at Hunsur. Similarly, in Vadodara, a single hub will come up along National Highway 48 in Jambuva. Pune will host five new Tata Mega Charging Hubs, located in Chakan, Pimple Nilakh, Talegaon, Varve, and Wagholi.

The new Mega Charging Hubs will have on-site marshals to assist customers with the charging process, and they will also feature Shell Select and Deli2go stores. Tata EV customers will receive a discount of up to 25 per cent on charging and also benefit from special offers on food and beverages.

Including the 21 new outlets, Tata.ev will have a network of 130 Mega Charging Hubs across India. By 2027, the company aims to expand the network to 500 sites and offer over 400,000 charging points.
