With the increase in EV adoption, the company has also expanded footprint into the electric 3-wheeler and 2-wheeler charging market. Earlier this month, Tata Power and TVS Motor Company, one of the leading manufacturers of two-wheelers and three-wheelers globally, signed on a strategic partnership to drive the comprehensive implementation of EVCI across India and deploy solar power technologies at TVS Motor locations. The partnership aims to create a large dedicated electric two-wheeler charging infrastructure to accelerate electric mobility in India.

Some of the recent announcements by the company include those with HPCL to provide end-to-end EV charging stations at their retail outlets and with the Lodha Group for stations in its commercial and residential projects in Mumbai.
