Servotech COO says Q1 EV charger revenue drop to 2.5 percent was timing driven, expects policy led rebound
By Eve
Servotech Renewables' Chief Operating Officer Prem Prakash told an August 2026 interview that EV chargers fell from roughly 42 to 43 percent of revenue in Q4 FY26 to about 2.5 percent in Q1 FY27, while solar products rose to 94.8 percent from around 51 percent. He attributed the shift to project execution timelines rather than strategy, saying EV charger revenue fluctuates with central and state government policies and demand cycles. The firm is expanding into batteries, energy storage and Dubai as part of a wider clean energy push.
Why it matters
Sharp quarterly swings in charger revenue highlight how dependent Indian suppliers remain on government procurement cycles and project phasing. Buyers and funders tracking Servotech's pipeline should watch for policy announcements that could reverse the Q1 mix in coming quarters.

Seattle opens applications for 200 curbside Level 2 chargers targeting apartment areas by 2030
Seattle City Light is accepting resident applications for up to 200 new curbside Level 2 EV chargers to be installed from fall 2027 through 2030, prioritising multifamily housing areas with limited existing charging. The city will review applications and select locations in batches of 40 to 50 sites, with design and permitting starting spring 2027 and each site requiring approximately two weeks of construction. Seattle already operates 58 chargers from an earlier pilot programme.
