In a major push toward accelerating India’s electric mobility transition, Mahindra has launched its Charge_IN ultra-fast charging network, featuring exclusively 180 kW charging stations. The company aims to set up 1,000 charging points by the end of 2027, strengthening India’s public EV charging ecosystem and supporting long-distance electric travel.
Mahindra Targets 1,000 Ultra-Fast Charging Points by 2027
Mahindra plans to install 250 charging stations, all equipped with 180 kW dual-gun chargers, creating over 1,000 high-speed charging points nationwide. The initiative aligns with the Government of India’s focus on expanding EV infrastructure to boost adoption across the country.
The Charge_IN network forms a key pillar of Mahindra’s broader vision to “UNLIMIT electric mobility,” ensuring faster turnaround times and improved accessibility for electric four-wheeler users.
First Charge_IN Stations Inaugurated on Key National Highways
Mahindra has inaugurated its first two Charge_IN stations at:
-
Hoskote on NH 75 (Bengaluru–Chennai highway)
-
Murthal on NH 44, around 50 km from Delhi
Each station houses two 180 kW ultra-fast chargers, capable of charging four EVs simultaneously, which represents an important milestone toward building India’s high-speed EV charging backbone.
Ultra-Fast Charging for Mahindra’s eSUV Portfolio
The Charge_IN stations will support Mahindra’s flagship electric SUVs, including:
-
XEV 9e

These eSUVs can charge from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, making long-distance EV travel more practical, predictable, and stress-free.
Mahindra states that the combination of advanced charging infrastructure and SUVs offering 500 km of real-world range will help significantly boost consumer confidence.
