Open Collabortion 2.0
In 2023, Tata Motors launched the Open Collaboration framework and partnered with Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to expand the charging infrastructure across India, with a particular focus on highways to ensure seamless long-distance mobility. This resulted in over 18,000 charging points being installed in just 18 months.
Speaking about the work that Tata EV has done itself: 150,000 private/home chargers, 2,500 community chargers, and 750 chargers at Tata dealerships across more than 200 cities.
Now, electric vehicle sales have doubled, and we also saw multiple EV launches at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. As a result, Tata Motors has set a new goal to establish 400,000 charging stations by 2027. Additionally, they are working with Charging Point Operators (CPOs) to install 30,000 new public charging points that will support vehicles of all brands, as well as set up the TATA EV Mega Charger network, which will offer superfast charging.
Speaking at the launch of 'Open Collaboration 2.0', Mr. Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, "TATA.ev has been at the forefront of Indias EV revolution, not just by introducing world-class electric vehicles, but also by building a robust charging infrastructure nationwide. To enable the exponential growth of EVs in India, we've launched 'Open Collaboration 2.0', aiming to expand the charging network to over 400,000 points in the next two years, in partnership with leading CPOs. This initiative will enhance the speed, reliability, and user experience of charging, while improving the viability of CPOs and facilitating their growth. To enhance the charging experience, we are introducing through partnerships, TATA.ev Mega Chargers in key cities and highways, along with TATA.ev Verified Chargers assuring quality infrastructure. Additionally, a unified Charging Helpline and seamless payment solution are being introduced to help address customer concerns and to make the charging ecosystem more accessible and dependable as EV adoption continues to rise."

Verdict
EVs are slowly gaining acceptance among Indians. In just two years, their market share has risen exponentially, and now almost every automaker, barring a few, has one or even two fully electric vehicles. This indicates that in the future, owning a petrol vehicle will be considered a luxury. In that not-so-distant future, we will all see Tata EV as the shining star, as they were the first mass-market brand to step in and provide outstanding vehicles with a healthy range and tremendously good driving experience. Let's see how quickly they achieve their new goal and set up another one.
