EV charging companies in India fall into three groups: charge point operators (CPOs) that run public stations, manufacturers that build the chargers, and software providers that manage apps, billing and networks. Many companies combine two or all three. This guide explains what each type does, how they earn money, which companies you can explore in the TRANDS directory, and how your business can get discovered by EV drivers, fleets and site owners.
The three types of EV charging companies in India
| Type | What they do | Who they serve |
|---|---|---|
| Charge point operator (CPO) | Own or run charging stations, set tariffs, provide the driver app | EV drivers, fleets |
| Charger manufacturer / OEM | Design and sell AC and DC chargers (for example 7.4 kW to 120 kW and above) | CPOs, hotels, malls, housing societies, businesses |
| Software / platform provider | OCPP charger management, payments, roaming, driver apps | CPOs, site owners, fleets |
Some networks are widely cited by industry sources, including Tata Power EZ Charge, Statiq, ChargeZone and Jio-bp pulse. Reported network sizes vary a lot between sources and dates, so always check an operator's own published numbers before comparing.

- Hardware sales: Manufacturers sell AC and DC chargers to businesses and CPOs.
- Turnkey and franchise models: Companies set up stations for landowners and business owners and may share revenue.
- Software subscriptions: Charger management, billing and app platforms charge per charger or per session.
- Site partnerships: Hotels, malls and restaurants host chargers to attract customers, often with a revenue share.
