Marking a major milestone in India’s electric mobility transition, Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced a nationwide EV charging ecosystem under the banner “One India, One EV Charging Platform.” The initiative includes a comprehensive end-to-end digital charging solution and a historic collaboration with 13 leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and aggregators.
The move positions Maruti Suzuki as fully EV-ready ahead of the launch of its upcoming electric vehicles, led by the e VITARA Born EV, which boasts a certified driving range of 543 km.
Nationwide Charging Network for a Unified EV Experience
As part of the initiative, Maruti Suzuki now offers:
- 2,000+ exclusive Maruti Suzuki charging points across its showroom and service network, spanning 1,100+ cities
- A vast partner-operated network integrated into a single platform
- A strategic roadmap to enable over 1,00,000 public charging points by 2030
The company has also deployed a 1.5 lakh-strong EV-trained workforce and activated 1,500+ EV-ready service workshops nationwide to ensure a seamless ownership experience.
New Digital Platform: ‘e for me’ App
Maruti Suzuki’s new ‘e for me’ EV charging mobile app consolidates home charging setup, public charging access, navigation, and payments—offering a unified digital journey for EV users. The app integrates UPI and Maruti Suzuki Money, powered by Razorpay.
From booking an e VITARA to day-to-day charging, the app aims to simplify every customer touchpoint.
Pan-India ‘e Drive’ Flagged Off
To demonstrate the real-world readiness of its EV charging network, Maruti Suzuki flagged off four e VITARA EVs from Gurugram to the country’s four extremities:
- Srinagar (North)
- Kanyakumari (South)
- Bhuj (West)
- Dibrugarh (East)
This nationwide ‘e Drive’ will validate the EV ecosystem across highways and cities, showcasing accessible charging intervals of 5–10 km across key city locations and fast-charging availability on major routes.

Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, highlighted the company’s commitment:
“We are entering the EV domain with full readiness to address charging concerns and boost customer confidence. Along with our dealer and CPO partners, our aim is to enable a network of over 1 lakh charging points across India by 2030.”
Mr. Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, added:
“Today marks the dawn of a new era for electric mobility. With our EV-ready workshops, trained workforce, and a unified charging platform, Maruti Suzuki will be ‘By Your Side’ throughout the EV ownership journey.”
e VITARA: Tested for India and Beyond
The Made-in-India e VITARA has undergone over 1 crore km of testing across extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C, proving reliability “from Sand to Snow.” Maruti Suzuki says the model is engineered to deliver global-standard EV performance, supported by its robust charging ecosystem.
