    Dinesh Nandwana, Executive Chairman, Vakrangee said, "We believe that the electric vehicle space is a huge growth opportunity for the coming years and we want to be future ready by developing a Pan India footprint of EV charging infrastructure. We would be an enabler by providing the distribution platform for the EV charging facility through our partnership with the EV service providers."

    The government expects 25 per cent of the total vehicles on roads will be electric vehicles by 2030, necessitating erecting robust electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the country. As per the guidelines, there should be at least one station at every 25 km on each side of the highway/roads. With a network that wide, Vakrangee will be able to help in facilitating charging infrastructure throughout the country.
