Tata Power and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. (TATA.ev) have reported that their co-branded Mega Charger network has exceeded 70,000 charging sessions since deployment. The 10 hubs, located across Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, operate 25 fast chargers with 56 charging guns and a combined capacity of 2.7 MW, with individual hub capacities ranging from 180 kW to 600 kW. The network has delivered over 85,000 hours of charging, supported more than 75 lakh electric kilometres and helped avoid an estimated 6,690 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Why it matters: The milestone demonstrates the operational scale achievable by co-branded charging networks in India and provides procurement teams with performance benchmarks for high capacity hub deployments. The geographic spread across intercity corridors and urban centres offers a model for CPOs planning multi-state fast charging rollouts.

Telangana topped the HERE and SBD EV Index 2026, climbing from 25th place in 2025, while Delhi dropped from fourth to 17th, according to a survey assessing 34 Indian states and union territories. The index scores regions on four equally weighted measures: public chargers relative to road length, average charger power, EV share of the vehicle fleet, and the ratio of EVs to public charging infrastructure, with each measure worth up to 25 points. India added more than 31,500 public charging points since the previous index, representing more than a fourfold increase.

Why it matters: The ranking highlights which Indian states are building charging infrastructure at pace and signals where CPOs may find supportive policy environments or face stiffer competition. Delhi's sharp fall suggests procurement teams should reassess regional deployment priorities as smaller states accelerate network rollout.
