Mumbai Gets a MegaCharge! Tata Power & Tata.ev Launch City’s Largest EV Hub

In a landmark move to accelerate India’s electric mobility infrastructure, Tata Power Company Limited and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited have jointly inaugurated Mumbai’s first large-scale premium EV charging hub under the TATA.ev MegaCharger initiative. The launch coincided with World EV Day, marking a strategic milestone in the country’s clean energy transition.

A Flagship Collaboration for Urban EV Adoption

The co-branded charging facility was unveiled by Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD of Tata Power, and Mr. Shailesh Chandra, MD of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility. Located within the premises of The Leela Mumbai Hotel, adjacent to Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the hub is designed to serve a wide spectrum of EV users—from private car owners to commercial fleets.

“This MegaCharger hub reflects our commitment to building a robust, accessible EV ecosystem that supports India’s net-zero ambitions,” said Dr. Sinha during the inauguration.

Infrastructure Highlights

• Eight fast DC chargers with speeds up to 120 kW
• 16 charging bays, enabling simultaneous charging for 16 EVs
• 24/7 accessibility for private vehicles, taxis, ride-hailing services, and logistics operators
• Strategically positioned to serve airport travelers, hotel guests, and professionals in the Andheri–BKC–South Mumbai corridor

The facility aims to eliminate long wait times and offer a seamless charging experience, especially during peak hours. Its location near a major transit hub also makes it a critical node in Mumbai’s evolving EV landscape.

Clean Mobility Meets Premium Access

The TATA.ev MegaCharger hub is part of Tata Power’s broader strategy to deploy 25,000+ EV charging points across India by 2028. With this launch, the company reinforces its leadership in both EV infrastructure and sustainable urban planning.

“This initiative not only supports our growing EV customer base but also sets a benchmark for future-ready urban mobility solutions,” said Mr. Chandra.

Subsidiaries of Tata Motors and Tata Power Collab to Offer Combined Solution of Electric Vehicles and Solar Rooftop Systems

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility to Enable Customers Get Solar Rooftop Systems Installed on Their EVs in Partnership with Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. (TPREL)

Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. (TPEML), a subsidiary of Tata Motors for passenger electric vehicles in India, will now enable customers to get a solar rooftop system installed through Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. (TPREL), a subsidiary of The Tata Power Company Ltd.. Both the companies have joined hands to drive zero-emissions mobility in India through a combined solution of Electric Vehicles and Solar Rooftop Systems.

Through this collaboration, TPEML will enable customers to get a solar rooftop system installed through TPREL. In addition, both companies will promote EVs / EV Charging and Solar Rooftop Systems to their respective customers to drive awareness of the benefits of solutions.

Electric Vehicles (EVs), which have zero tailpipe emissions, and solar power systems, which generate emissions-free electricity, are both key enablers in India’s journey towards Net Zero emissions. The Government of India has been supporting EVs through multiple initiatives over the last several years, and the recently launched PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana aims to provide subsidized solar rooftop installations to 1 crore households.

While both EVs and Solar Rooftop Systems deliver an independent business case for customers, combining the two solutions delivers several additional benefits to customers, such as:

• Reducing the total cost of ownership for EVs
• Reducing the electricity bill for EV customers
• Accelerating the payback for solar rooftop owners who buy an EV
• Providing 100% emissions free power for EVs

In addition, combining Solar Rooftop Systems with EVs de-couples the well-to-wheel emissions of EVs from the grid mix, thus offering a much faster path towards net zero emissions for the transportation sector.

Commenting on the collaboration, Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. said, “India’s net zero journey can only be achieved by switching to EVs and renewable power. We see significant synergies between the customers of EVs and solar rooftop systems. Over 90% of EV customers use home charging and nearly 30% of our EV owners are already using Solar Rooftop Systems. Combining forces with Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd., we intend to democratize zero-emissions mobility and decouple EVs from the grid, while reducing running costs for customers.”

Dr Praveer Sinha, CEO&MD Tata Power, said, “Combination of Solar rooftop and EV is a promising, cost-effective, sustainable solution for India and hence naturally complementary. Both solutions appeal to the same set of eco-friendly and value-conscious customers. We are excited to collaborate with Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. to drive greater adoption of Rooftop Systems and EVs and provide discerning customers with an opportunity to contribute to reducing emissions while saving money.”

Tata Power is fuelling the growth in the solar rooftop sector through its nationwide campaign on ‘GharGharSolar, Tata Power ke Sangh’. Tata Power plans to aggressively promote solar rooftop adoption through its extensive network of over 700 channel partners and retailers to cover every nook and corner of the country. Notably, the company has served over 1,00,000 satisfied customers across India. Tata Power has installed a substantial number of 101,924 home chargers and 5,600 public chargers across India.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd. through its extensive EV charging network of 5,600 public charging points is strategically positioned across India to provide solar-powered charging solutions. Present across prominent highways and diverse locations such as hotels, malls, offices, hospitals, residential complexes, etc., TPREL is playing a pivotal role in accelerating e-mobility adoption across the country.
