India Needs More Chargers Than It Has

Every electric car on the road needs somewhere to charge. India’s EV fleet is growing faster than its public charging network, and that gap is where well-located charging stations earn. A Rudved franchise lets you invest in this infrastructure without having to run it yourself. Electric cars made up 8.3% of India’s passenger vehicle registrations in September 2026, and the government told Parliament in July 2026 that 52,718 public charging stations are operational.

6 lakh+

Electric cars registered in India, with 1.92 lakh added between April and September 2026

+89%

Year-on-year growth in electric car registrations, April to September 2026

16,500+

Public charging stations with fast chargers for cars, out of 52,718 public stations in total (July 2026)

13 lakh+

Charging points India will need by 2030, against about 53,000 public stations today

The 6 lakh+ figure is cumulative electric car registrations on VAHAN up to September 2026.

FAQs

What Prospective Franchise Partners Ask Us

Earnings depend on your location’s traffic, the charger capacity you install and how many sessions it serves each day. Revenue usually starts modestly and grows as EV adoption and station awareness increase. Use our calculator for an estimate based on your inputs. As an indicative benchmark, a single 60 kW charger running at 10% to 15% utilisation can earn a gross margin of roughly ₹30,000 to ₹85,000 a month before operating costs. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Charger hardware starts from ₹11.65 Lakhs (Doer DC 60 kW), before GST. A complete station, including GST, installation, civil and electrical work and DISCOM charges, typically costs ₹16 to ₹25 Lakhs for a single 60 kW charger, and rises with charger capacity and the number of chargers. Our team gives you a detailed quote after the site assessment.

Submit the enquiry form or call us. We assess your site, recommend a configuration, finalise the agreement, then install and launch your station.

You can take a managed franchise, buy the hardware outright and operate it yourself, run a white-label network on our software and hardware, or host a station on your premises.

Yes, if you have a long-term lease with the owner’s permission to install charging infrastructure. Our team reviews your lease terms during the site assessment.
