India’s charging infrastructure has been boosted by the government's PM E-Drive program where the government has allocated Rs 20 billion for fast charging solutions. India is gearing up to leapfrog the technology from slow charging to fast charging through this initiative. In its endeavour to support India’s promising charging infrastructure and make India the global hub for charging technologies, the industry body IESA (India Energy Storage Alliance) is all set to host over 80 global players at The Bharat Battery Show. This event will take place from January 19 to 21, 2025, as a part of Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 at Bharat Mandapam in central New Delhi. The Bharat Battery Show as part of Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 is going to be the Launchpad for over 20 path-breaking charging solutions and technologies, new international partnerships, and factory announcements.

 

India already has around 20,000 public charging stations and multiple charging stations at households for two-wheelers, e-rickshaws, and electric cars. Through PM E-drive programme and initiatives such as The Bharat Battery Show, India will soon have new technologies that will be demonstrated by companies from India and outside India including Germany, USA, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and China. Intelligent electric car charging systems manufacturer, Everta is all set to launch DC chargers for four-wheelers, while Automotive Test Systems (ATS) will introduce its new battery and motor testing facility, the AARTC (Automotive Advanced Research and Testing Center), in Coimbatore this month. Yuma Energy, a joint venture between Yulu and Magna, will showcase its Gen 5 Battery and innovative DIY charging units aimed at meeting India's energy needs, fostering local entrepreneurship, and supporting the country's EV revolution.  Both charging station manufacturers, charging infra providers, operators and testing agencies like Chogori, BrightBlu, GLIDA, KAZAM, Bolt Earth, Lubi EV, Trinity Touch, ElectriFi, Amphenol, Mindra EV, Neenjas Electric, Zero Footprint, Amphenol, SCharge, Phoenix Contact, TVS Sirius, ATS, AVL, TUV will be participating in the Bharat Mobility 2025.

 

Debi Prasad Dash, President, IESA said, “Multiple companies are exhibiting their new charging solutions including fast charging and new technology development, manufacturing capacity, and charging solutions deployment across India.  IESA is also organising a dedicated Seminar on ‘Accelerating EV Adoption – Future of Fast Charging’ on January 20, as part of the Bharat Mobility. Bharat Mobility is a first-of-its-kind initiative where the world’s biggest OEM players are exhibiting along with the charging infrastructure solution providers under one roof. This is a unique opportunity where the participants will interact with both OEMs and charging infrastructure collaboratively.”

 

At the Bharat Battery Show, Mindra EV is going to unveil an advanced modular housing unit that integrates a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a turbo EV charger, alongside high-capacity and high-voltage chargers for Automated Governed Vehicles (AGV) and Industrial Governed Vehicles (IGV), all featuring cyber security and VAPT compliance. Additionally, Neenjas Electric is launching India’s first Digital On-Board Charger (OBC) at 3.3 kW, designed and manufactured entirely in India, which has successfully passed rigorous testing for Indian grid conditions and extreme climates. Also, Battrixx is going to unveil a new brand identity and an exciting strategic transformation in the green energy space. The new offerings will be in the e-mobility and electronics space.

 

The Bharat Battery Show (an expo on batteries and charging) as part of Bharat Mobility Global Expo will feature cutting-edge technologies in battery storage, battery recycling, and charging infrastructure, reflecting IESA’s commitment to driving the adoption of clean energy and sustainable mobility solutions in India.  IESA is also organizing two pre-event knowledge conferences, the 4th India Battery Manufacturing and Supply Chain Summit on January 15 and 16, and the India Battery Recycling and Reuse Summit on the January 18. Also, two knowledge sessions will be organised during the exhibition days at Bharat Mandapam- startup connect program and India charging infra forum on January 21. The battery tech, recycling, and charging infra pavilions under the Bharat Battery Show umbrella will be a testament to India’s advancements in these critical areas and our readiness to lead the global mobility revolution.
