Maruti Suzuki India has announced a landmark move in the country’s electric mobility landscape with the introduction of a unified EV charging ecosystem and a dedicated digital platform. This initiative, revealed on December 2, 2025, marks a pivotal development in India’s EV transition, as the company also formalised collaborations with 13 major Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and aggregators to streamline and interconnect charging infrastructure nationwide.

Launch of the Unified Charging Ecosystem

At the heart of Maruti Suzuki’s new EV strategy lies its digital platform—‘e for me’, which has been designed to simplify the charging experience for electric vehicle users across the country. The platform aims to unify diverse charging networks, making EV charging as intuitive as mobile recharging.

Key Objectives of the Initiative

• Establish a nationwide, highly accessible EV charging framework

• Provide a common interface for both public and home charging

• Improve EV confidence among first-time buyers

• Strengthen long-distance EV travel feasibility across India

Growing Charging Footprint

Maruti Suzuki currently operates 2000+ exclusive EV charging points across more than 1,100 cities through its expansive dealership network. When combined with the infrastructure of partner CPOs, the ecosystem already stands as one of the broadest public charging networks in India.

Ambitious Goal for 2030

With the new strategic partnerships in place, Maruti Suzuki aims to support over 1,00,000 public charging points by 2030, a step that could significantly accelerate the adoption of EVs across Indian roads.

Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO of Maruti Suzuki India, described the launch as a "historic step", reiterating the company’s commitment to electric mobility in alignment with Suzuki’s global EV roadmap. He highlighted Maruti Suzuki’s growing readiness, supported by:

• 2,000+ charging points

• A target of bringing over 1 lakh chargers to the public

The company has also built a 1.5 lakh-strong EV-ready workforce and operates 1500+ EV-enabled service workshops nationwide to ensure reliable customer service.
