Indian auto manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Adani TotalEnergies E-Mobility Limited (Atel) to create an EV charging infrastructure in India.
The partnership is looking to roll out 1,100 chargers over the next few years.

Atel is already developing a network of 200 EV charging points in the Delhi area. The firm also operates networks around Udaipur and in a handful of other Indian cities.
M&M sells a range of ICE and e-SUVs in India. The firm sold over 250,000 SUVs in 2023 and aims to achieve a 20-30pc mix of BEVs in its total sales by later this decade.
The country will need at least 1.32mn stations by 2030 to facilitate the rapid adoption of EVs, according to a report released by the Confederation of Indian Industry last year.
The report projected that approximately 106mn EVs will be sold every year by 2030.
