Tata Power gains inking MoU with Hyundai Motor India for EV charging network

Tata Power Company rose 2.29% to Rs 231.85 after the company announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) to build a EV charging network across India.

Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company (HMC). Under the partnership, Tata Power will install Tata Power EZ Charge fast chargers (DC 60 kW) at HMIL's existing 34 EV dealer locations across 29 cities along with supply, installation, and commissioning of home charging for HMIL's EV customers. The association will make Tata Power and HMIL key contributors to the expansion of charging infrastructure.

Currently, all 34 HMIL dealer locations are equipped with AC 7.2 kW chargers, and the company aims to expand the fast charging infra network across its pan India dealerships. This new partnership will be of tremendous benefit to customers as the vehicle charging time of a DC 60 kW charger is much lesser than AC 7.2 kW charger. DC 60 kW charging stations will enhance customer convenience.

Under the collaboration, the charging stations at HMIL dealerships will be open for all electric vehicle customers. Additionally, end-to-end charging solutions at the home of HMIL's EV owners will be offered by Tata Power for their convenience resulting in hassle-free EV ownership. HMIL dealerships will facilitate with space, and necessary administrative approvals, and Tata Power will invest, own and operate the charging stations.
