Glida plans to set up 3,000 EV charging points pan-India by March 2025
Glida, previously known as Fortum Charge & Drive India, is planning to set up 3,000 e-passenger vehicle (EV) charging points across India by March 2025, said its Executive Director Awadesh Kumar Jha on Wednesday.
Backed by the Finnish government, Glida currently has 450 charging points in 15 Indian states. “Most of our charging points are in Delhi (170), National Capital Region (100) and Hyderabad (80),” Jha told Business Standard in an interview.
In 2022-23 (FY23), e-two-wheeler penetration in India surged to 4.5 per cent from 1.9 per cent in FY22, data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations shows. In e-passenger vehicles (EVs), sales jumped by 153.47 per cent year-on-year in FY23, and e-three-wheelers saw an 118.25 per cent increase in the same period.
