Maruti Suzuki India Limited has taken a landmark step in electric mobility by signing collaboration agreements with 13 leading Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and charging aggregators. The announcement was made in the presence of Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, and Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, along with senior representatives from partner organisations.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Takeuchi stated that Maruti Suzuki is committed to delivering a seamless ownership experience as it enters the electric vehicle space. He highlighted the company’s network of over 2,000 exclusive charging points across 1,100+ cities and the new collaboration that provides access to an expansive national charging network. He added that, in line with Suzuki’s global roadmap, Maruti Suzuki plans to roll out multiple electric vehicles supported by an ambitious target of enabling more than 1 lakh charging points across India by 2030 in partnership with dealers and CPOs.
Showcasing the strength of the newly developed EV ecosystem, Mr Banerjee noted that the company is fully prepared for the transition to electric mobility. He revealed that Maruti Suzuki and its partner network will ensure EV charging points every 5–10 kilometres in key locations across India’s 100 largest cities, supplemented by fast-charging stations along major highways to support long-distance travel. To strengthen customer confidence, Maruti Suzuki has trained a 1.5 lakh-strong EV-ready workforce and operationalised more than 1,500 EV-capable service workshops across 1,100 cities.
To illustrate the readiness of this network, Maruti Suzuki is launching a nationwide “e drive”. Four eVITARA Born EVs will travel simultaneously to the northern, southern, eastern, and western extremes of the country—from Srinagar to Kanyakumari, Dibrugarh, and Bhuj—demonstrating the real-world reliability of the “e for me” charging ecosystem. Prospective EV owners can explore this nationwide network through the “e for me” mobile app, available on Apple App Store® and Google Play™ Store. The platform simplifies home-charger setup, public charging access, and payments through UPI or Maruti Suzuki Money powered by Razorpay.
The Made-in-India eVITARA Born EV, engineered to global standards and tested across more than 1 crore kilometres in extreme conditions ranging from -30°C to +60°C, delivers a certified range of 543 km*. Supported by the “e for me” platform and Maruti Suzuki’s robust aftersales ecosystem, the company is set to redefine electric mobility for Indian customers and strengthen confidence in nationwide EV adoption.
