Ampvolts Limited, one of India’s leading electric vehicle infrastructure providers, will develop and operate 17 high-capacity electric charging hubs in industrial and logistics corridors in Western India, in partnership with Cholamandalam Leasing Limited.
The infrastructure will support the deployment of Montra Electric RHINO 5538 EV trucks, enabling long-haul electric freight movement at scale by addressing the critical challenge of reliable charging for heavy-duty EVs.
The network of 17 charging hubs, backed by over 18 months of operational experience, is designed to support multi-fleet operations across logistics service providers, enabling seamless electric truck movement across key freight routes. This initiative will enable infra corporations towards “atmnirbhar” into the energy sector by reducing oil dependency in the prevailing global scenario. For fleet operators, this translates to reliable long-haul charging, reduced range anxiety, and improved uptime, directly impacting revenue potential. For corporations, it creates a viable pathway to achieve Scope-3 emission reduction goals, making electric logistics scalable rather than experimental. At an industry level, the initiative helps unlock a key infrastructure bottleneck, accelerating the transition to electric trucking.
“We are proud to enhance our cooperation and happy to continue our efforts to work closely with transporters, logistic companies, and truck makers to “make EV charging easy,” said Naimish Raval, Director, Ampvolts Limited. “With our expertise and experience in EV infrastructure, we are confident and capable to support TICMPL-CLL; for their larger goals in green mobility space. Ampvolts has planned to set up these 17 charging stations in record time, hopefully setting a national precedent in the setup of critical charging infrastructure to drive electrification. It will reduce the nation’s fossil fuel-based power requirement. It will help bridging the gap between market expectations, while proving long term sustainable, yet profitable operation – said Mr. Vipul Chauhan; Managing Director; Ampvolts Limited.
The project is expected to reduce approximately 650,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, at a time when heavy-duty electric trucks are projected to grow at ~55% CAGR through FY2030.
A step forward for India’s Green Freight Revolution.
India’s commercial EV market stands at an inflection point. Heavy-duty electric trucks project a 55% CAGR through FY2030, with the broader commercial vehicle EV market reaching USD 38.6 billion by 2033. Government policy support through PM E-DRIVE (₹10,900 crore allocation), FAME II charging infrastructure funding, and ₹500 crore e-truck subsidies have created unprecedented market tailwinds. Yet adoption barriers remain charging infrastructure constraints, operational uncertainty, and integration complexity have historically limited for switching to electric fleets.
