Hyundai Motor Company has announced plans to establish nearly 600 public EV fast charging stations across India over the next seven years, aiming to accelerate the country’s adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and strengthen its investment in the rapidly growing market.
According to Hyundai executive Jae Wan Ryu, the EV market in India is poised for significant growth by 2030, and Hyundai plans to facilitate this expansion through a comprehensive charging infrastructure. The new stations will primarily focus on long-distance travel, with fast chargers to be installed along key highways as well as in major cities. Currently, India boasts approximately 12,146 public EV charging stations.
Hyundai has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to set up 100 charging stations in the state by 2027, with 10 of them expected to be operational by the end of this month. By the end of 2024, Hyundai plans to have 50 fast chargers up and running across the country.
To date, Hyundai’s charging network has served over 10,000 customers, including both Hyundai and non-Hyundai EV drivers, completing around 50,000 charging sessions and consuming a total of 730,000 units of energy. The company’s chargers are capable of delivering peak outputs of up to 150 kW.
As part of its ongoing efforts to support EV adoption, Hyundai is also working to expand its lineup of locally manufactured electric vehicles. The company has already sold about 4,061 EVs, including the first-generation Kona Electric and the pre-updated Ioniq 5. Looking ahead, Hyundai plans to launch an electric version of its popular Creta SUV at the Bhara Mobility Global Expo next month, followed by a new electric crossover in the second half of 2026 to compete with the Citroen e-C3.
