In a bold move set to shake up India’s electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape, EVERTA, the newly launched EV charging solutions brand, has officially announced the establishment of its DC fast charger manufacturing facility in Bengaluru. With this strategic launch, EVERTA aims to capture 15% of the Indian DC charger market by the end of this decade a target that signals the beginning of what experts are calling the “EV Charger War” in India.
Backed by Epsilon Group, a 50-year-old energy solutions conglomerate, EVERTA’s entry represents more than just another player in the EV infrastructure space. it’s a call to arms in India’s mission to electrify its roads, reduce emissions, and develop self-reliant EV manufacturing.
A ‘Make in India’ Moment for DC Chargers
India has been grappling with a dual challenge: ramping up EV adoption while building a robust, fast-charging network that can keep pace. EVERTA is stepping into this gap with a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Karnataka, scheduled to be fully operational by Q3 2025.
The factory, designed to support the production of up to 3,000 high-speed DC chargers annually by 2027, will roll out chargers ranging from 60 kW to 320 kW. This capacity caters to a wide spectrum of electric vehicles — from e-rickshaws and delivery vans to buses and long-haul trucks.
More importantly, the facility is aligned with the ‘Make in India’ and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, aiming to reach over 50% domestic value addition in its first phase. By 2027, EVERTA plans to increase localization even further, reducing dependency on imported components.
“This isn’t just about chargers; it’s about building India’s technological muscle in one of the fastest-growing clean mobility segments,” said Sandeep Batra, CEO of EVERTA, at the launch event.
Big Bets: ₹300 Crore Investment and a 5-Year Roadmap
To fuel this ambitious vision, EVERTA is committing ₹300 crore over the next five years, with ₹150 crore allocated in the initial phase for plant setup, R&D labs, service infrastructure, and talent acquisition.
Deliveries of the first batch of chargers are expected to begin in early 2026, with installation partnerships already being forged across public charging operators (CPOs), automotive OEMs, and state utilities.
In parallel, EVERTA is working on after-sales service networks, diagnostic support, and software-backed uptime monitoring — crucial factors in convincing fleet operators and government agencies to make the switch to electric.
Global Tech, Local Muscle: Strategic Tie-Up with StarCharge
One of the standout elements in EVERTA’s strategy is its exclusive technology licensing agreement with StarCharge, a global leader in EV charging infrastructure.
Star Charge currently Ownes over 2 to 3 million EV chargers across more than 65 countries. Through this partnership, EVERTA gains access to global best practices, advanced firmware, and scalable power modules — all while ensuring the units are engineered, assembled, and customized in India.
“Our alliance with StarCharge allows us to leapfrog the learning curve. We’re not starting from scratch — we’re building with world-class systems tailored to India’s needs,” said Rohan Gokhale, CTO, EVERTA.
Why India Needs a Charging Revolution — Fast
India is racing toward its 2030 EV goals: achieving 30% EV penetration in private cars, 70% in commercial vehicles, and 100% in e-buses. But while EV sales have surged in metros and Tier 1 cities, charging infrastructure has lagged behind.
According to recent estimates, India will need nearly 800,000 DC chargers by 2030 to support about 4 million EVs on the road. As of mid-2025, fewer than 25,000 public fast chargers are operational — a massive gap EVERTA is aiming to help close.
With a projected demand of 1 lakh DC chargers annually by 2028, India is poised for a charger supply crunch unless domestic manufacturing ramps up quickly. EVERTA’s timing couldn’t be more crucial.
Innovation at the Core: Smart, Scalable, Connected
What sets EVERTA’s chargers apart isn’t just speed — it’s smart charging capabilities.
Each unit is designed with cloud connectivity, remote diagnostics, real-time power optimization, and OCPP-compliant architecture, ensuring interoperability with other networks.
The chargers are also designed for India’s challenging climate — dustproof, weather-sealed, and optimized for grid fluctuations.
Future versions are expected to feature Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and dynamic load balancing, making them future-ready for India’s smart city ambitions.
Skilled Workforce & Green Manufacturing
EVERTA’s Bengaluru plant is expected to generate over 400 direct and indirect jobs, focusing on roles in:
- Charger assembly
- Software engineering
- Power electronics
- After-sales diagnostics
- Technical training & field support
The facility itself is being developed as a green-certified plant, with solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and waste-to-energy systems integrated into its core infrastructure.
“We’re not just producing machines. We’re building a skilled ecosystem that can power India’s EV backbone,” said Neha Rajan, Head of Operations at EVERTA.
Real-World Applications: From Fleets to Highways
EVERTA’s product lineup is being designed with a segment-first approach:
- 60 kW chargers: Ideal for e-rickshaws, two-wheelers, and light commercial vans in city zones.
- 120 kW–180 kW chargers: For urban electric buses, fleet operators, and highway stations.
- 320 kW chargers: Suited for long-haul trucks, luxury EVs, and intercity EV corridors.
Pilot deployments are already being planned along Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Highway, and Namma Metro’s EV hubs in Bengaluru.
Rising Competition: India’s Charger Market Heats Up
EVERTA’s arrival marks a turning point in what insiders are calling India’s EV Charger War. Existing players like Delta Electronics, Exicom, Eaton, Servotech, and Tata Power have ramped up their offerings in recent years, but most still rely heavily on imported components or limited product lines.
With fully localized manufacturing, deep tech licensing, and a robust after-sales network, EVERTA is positioning itself as a made-in-India alternative with global quality.
“This is not a battle for margins. It’s a race to standardize fast charging in a billion-people economy,” said Rajesh Mehta, an independent EV analyst.
What’s Next: The Road to 2030
By 2026, EVERTA aims to roll out over 7,000 charging points across India — a mix of public, semi-public, and private installations. Over the next five years, it will expand its manufacturing capacity, introduce mobile charging vans, and enter export markets in Southeast Asia and Africa.
Meanwhile, government policies like the FAME-III scheme, PLI for EV components, and state-level EV subsidies are expected to accelerate the ecosystem.
“We believe India can not only meet its EV goals — it can lead in exporting clean tech to the world,” said EVERTA’s CEO in closing remarks.
Final Take: Not Just a Charger, But a Movement
EVERTA’s launch is more than a factory announcement — it’s a declaration of India’s growing dominance in EV infrastructure. By focusing on local manufacturing, global partnerships, and future-ready technology, the company is setting a new benchmark for how EV charging should be built in and for India.
In a market that desperately needs scale, speed, and sustainability, EVERTA has sparked a new chapter — and the EV charger war has just begun.
