EVERTA, a home grown manufacturer of electric vehicle charging equipment, on Thursday announced the launch of a new line of high-capacity direct current (DC) chargers aimed at meeting India’s growing demand for faster and more efficient charging infrastructure.

The product rollout spans chargers ranging from 60 kilowatts to 320 kilowatts and is designed to serve a wide range of electric vehicles—from three-wheelers and passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks and buses. EVERTA said the new line is a key part of its strategy to capture 15 percent of India’s DC charging market by 2030.

“As electric vehicles enter the market, charging infrastructure needs to grow in tandem—and in some cases, take the lead,” said Benny Parihar, Managing Director of EVERTA. “Our aim is to secure a 15 percent share of the DC charging segment during this crucial growth phase.”

To support the initiative, the company is building a manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, which is expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2025. The facility will produce the full range of high-speed chargers domestically.

DC fast chargers are typically used in public charging stations and are particularly suited for larger vehicles. Unlike alternating current (AC) chargers, which are slower and often used at home or in workplaces, DC chargers deliver power directly to the vehicle’s battery, reducing charging times significantly.

EVERTA also announced plans to localize over 50 percent of its production by value initially, with the aim of reaching full domestic value addition in the coming years. By 2027, the company expects to manufacture and deploy as many as 3,000 chargers annually.

As part of its technological roadmap, EVERTA has entered into a partnership with Star Charge, a global charging solutions provider with more than two million chargers deployed across 60 countries.

“Star Charge brings with it a robust research and development ecosystem,” said Manasvi Sharma, the company’s chief executive. “They have over 1,000 engineers who’ve been refining their product for the past five to six years.”

EVERTA has also formed a strategic alliance with Epsilon, a firm with deep expertise in battery technology and large-scale manufacturing. “We wanted a partner that understood industrial scale and had real insight into the Indian EV battery space,” Sharma said. “That’s where Epsilon complements us well.”

The company’s new chargers are aimed at three core market segments: charge point operators; commercial fleets including electric cabs and delivery vehicles; and large-scale operations such as municipal bus fleets, intercity transport systems, and long-haul electric trucks.

In response to questions about future diversification, Mr. Parihar indicated that the company is exploring additional products such as AC chargers and energy storage solutions, though no formal decision has been made.

India, which has set ambitious targets for EV adoption under its Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, continues to face gaps in public charging infrastructure. Industry experts say scaling domestic manufacturing and reducing import dependence will be critical to meeting both economic and environmental goals.
