India is witnessing a rapid surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with nearly 5 million EVs now registered on its roads, a remarkable jump from just 0.7% of total vehicle sales in 2020 to 6.3% in 2024. As this green revolution accelerates, the need for robust, accessible, and reliable EV charging infrastructure becomes critical.

 The Current Landscape

• As of May 2025, India has approximately 29,277 public charging stations, up from just 1,800 in February 2022
• Despite this ninefold growth, the infrastructure is still insufficient for the projected 50 million EVs by 2030, which will require around 1.32 million charging stations
• Today, there are about 32 EVs per charging station, creating bottlenecks and range anxiety for users

 Why Quantity Matters

• Range Anxiety: Limited charging points discourage potential buyers, who fear being stranded without power
• Urban vs. Rural Gap: Most stations are concentrated in major cities, leaving smaller towns and highways underserved
• Market Growth: A robust network will support the government’s goal of making EVs 30% of passenger vehicle sales by 2030

The Way Forward

• Policy Push: The government is targeting a public charging station every 3 sq km in megacities and every 25 km on highways
• Investment: The PM E-DRIVE scheme allocates ₹2,000 crore for new stations, aiming to install 74,300 chargers nationwide

Building more charging stations is not just about convenience, it’s essential for India’s clean mobility future.
