Vietnam-based Vingroup's EV charging arm V-Green on Thursday announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with ChargeZone to jointly develop dedicated EV charging infrastructure for VinFast customers across India. The co-branded EV charging network will support VinFast's India expansion. The first 15 charging stations under this collaboration have already been commissioned and made operational. As part of the next phase of expansion, nearly 100 additional co-branded charging stations are planned for deployment over the next six months, extending the network's reach to key locations across the country. The collaboration marks VinFast's first co-branded charging partnership with a Charge Point Operator (CPO) in India, and reflects a growing deeper integration between EV manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers. "The co-branded charging network is designed to address one of the most important factors influencing EV adoption today: dependable and accessible charging

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) on Tuesday said it has expanded its total operational Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity to 3.37 GWh at Khavda, Gujarat. The company has expanded total operational BESS capacity to 3.37 GWh, including 1.37 GWh added in March 2026 at Khavda, where it is building 30 GW renewable energy park, of which 9.9 GW is already operational, the Adani Group entity said in a statement. This is the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and among the fastest executed globally, it added. AGEL's 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours. The commissioning marks a major milestone in strengthening grid reliability, peak-hour supply and enabling renewable energy to deliver dependable, round-the-clock po
