“With hubs like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and soon Kurnool, we are creating a future-ready charging ecosystem that caters not just to cars, but also to buses, trucks, and high-capacity EVs,” said ThunderPlus CEO Rajeev YSR.
The Bengaluru facility follows the company’s first one megawatt charging hub in Hyderabad. A similar site is planned in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, as part of its expansion strategy. The operator currently has a presence across southern states, including Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, along with stations in Gujarat, Bihar and Delhi.
