  • India had 29,151 EV charging stations by December 2025, nearly six times the roughly 5,000 stations in 2022.
  • Of these, 8,805 were fast chargers and 20,346 were slow chargers, with over 200 charge point operators active in the country.
  • Despite the rapid expansion, charging station utilisation remains low at 1%-5%, according to estimates from SBI and S&P Global.
  • High power tariffs, site costs and low utilisation are hurting the business case, while 73% of chargers have capacity below 30 kW.
