Installation & Maintenance, Billing & Customer Support
The pitch
Install and operate electric vehicle (EV) charging units to provide on‑demand charging services for private and commercial EV owners.
EV owners, fleet operators, private parking lots, and commercial establishments via direct sales and partnership agreements with parking operators. Operations involve daily monitoring of charging units, preventive maintenance, billing through a mobile app, and customer support via a dedicated helpline.
Sample cost ₹17,33,000 covers purchase of 2–3 fast‑charging units, installation, cabling, software licensing, and a 3‑year land lease for the charging station.
