Presenting the March edition of charging infrastructure by @ExpWithEVs ! India's public EV charging infrastructure added around 1100 fast chargers in Jan - Mar quarter including the government and private CPOs. India sits at around 27,000 fast and slow connectors as of March 2026. Over the FY25-26, the first two quarters saw a faster growth in addition of chargers around the country. The South zone has decisively overtaken the West zone in charging infrastructure and now leads by a healthy margin. Maharashtra still holds the crown for most number of chargers in the state. While the entire industry is growing, why is @IndianOilcl taking a step back? Read our interactive report (link in bio). Help and support our work by becoming a paying member. This article is free!

XEV9E / EV is a city car? This is where all I have travelled. Time to think again? And some self-claimed influencers tell people that EVs are for 120-200km max radius from home! @ferrarirules86 @BunnyPunia @evelectree @EVZindabad @Xroaders_001

With the track record of this government, it will be very easy to ‘withdraw’ the benefits when it comes the time to pay up.

Official Trailer : The Last Mangroves of Mumbai. 🎋 Mumbai is spending Rs. 22000 crore on a coastal road through mangroves calling it a project of public benefit. But citizens, fisherfolk, experts, environmentalists and urban planners are asking difficult questions about the future of Mumbai's mangroves, trees, public spaces and climate resilience. A closer look at the promise of decongestion and development via the Mumbai Coastal Road, the fight to save Mumbai's mangroves, and the growing debate over who city is really built for. Made as part of a citizen’s movement - Save Mumbai Mangroves community.

India has gone from being a service economy to a giant strip mining operation and it shows.

PSA - be very very careful when doing this exercise on a @Tataev car. Past experience is nothing but horror stories.
Replying to @BunnyPunia
Under 20%, the turtle mode comes. This is a proper power saving mode. Do note, the Tiago EV does not have an 'Eco mode' as such. Top speed is restricted to 55km/h. So what happened next? SOC : 10% Trip: 251km Eff: 86 wh/km We got another 29km in the last 10%, bringing down the efficiency to a brilliant 86 wh/km. Driving on the last few set of electrons, my mind was buzz with multiple mathematical calculations. Shall I drain the battery completely or drive to the hotel at 1% for the benefit of logistics team (to charge the car) SOC: 5% Trip: 268km Eff: 85 wh/km A further drop to 85. What a brilliant number for this little e-hatchback. We did a quick circle around of the area, calculated the distance to the hotel and drove in at 1%. SOC: 1% Trip: 281.5km Eff: 85 wh/km We did 281.5km in 98% - that's a possible range of 287km. The same figure was echoed by the efficiency number of 85 wh/km. With a 24kwh battery, simple calculations showed : 24000/85 = 282.35km The Tiago's efficiency display indeed is very very accurate as seen above. So, good enough? I would say absolutely brilliant. Yes, hypermiling isn't your daily way of driving but showcases what the Tata Tiago.ev can do when you want it to. Say you don't want to charge on the highway before getting to a destination, or don't get a working charger, or just want to extract the max - this is what this little marvel would do. Full video drops today evening on @91wheels

Can continue buying EVs because an electron is an electron
Right now, the best advice I can give you as an automotive journalist is to stop buying new cars and bikes, until this #ethanol mess is sorted out. OEMs are too scared to say anything to the government, so this will be one way of pressurising them as well.

This is iconic 👏 Shekhar Suman just narrated the story of a Cruel King. He didn’t name anyone but this fits perfectly on a man we all know. Must- Must Watch.

If you are in finance space in India, you must consider supporting independent journalists and media organizations like @artijourno and @theheadandtale PR and all is fine, but you still need someone to tell you what is really going on in your industry.

The gang has evolved. They now get past the wire mesh to cut the copper cable. Need better cable innovation and security to avoid this. This is off Olof Palme Marg, the main road to go from Delhi to Gurgaon / Airport 📍Near IIT, New Delhi @ReliableCharge CPO
What a shame and poor upkeep of RoadGrid Electric charging station. This is the condition of the charger at City park, Greater Noida Alpha 1. The cables are cut! Dear @OfficialGNIDA, RoadGrid and @npclgrnoida - is this how your on-ground team takes care of chargers? This is how India is supposed to fast track to EVs dear @nitin_gadkari? What a disappointment guys @Xroaders_001 @TorqueIndia @purohit__anuj @TeslaClubIN @ferrarirules86 and others

I'm never sure if transferring an official is a punishment to the official, or a punishment to the people in the area he gets transferred to.

This is awesome and I've seen some apartments and commercial parking lots like this in Europe, Korea and Vietnam also. Indian authorities have to get their heads out of their asses!
This is my basement parking here in Shenzhen, and this is how most parking lots are designed here. I don't even have to buy a charger because it's provided by the building. Just use and pay via WeChat. Convenience and ecosystem are everything when it comes to EV adoption.

I have some advice for those impacted by what is looks like a CBSE scam. Please share this with those who are impacted: A few days from now, maybe even today, a commission or a committee to probe this issue may be announced. Some bureaucrat will be transferred. Some minister might be moved to a different portfolio. The system will now seek to calm this storm by doing pointless face-saving shit to buy time. Media frenzy will die down. Journalists will move to a different story. Opposition will find a new issue to highlight. You're not their priority. It's just how things work. A few words of advice from an older hand who has done something to make things better re what you can do: 1. Don't give up. Don't stop till you get what you want. Identify a solution that you want. It could be a re-exam, or the demand for re-examination of marksheets. I don't know. Identify solutions and make a list. Demand outcomes. 2. Things will keep changing. Anticipate. Respond. Don't piss on anyone and don't make it personal. It's about the issue not the person. 3. Don't appoint a leader. Leaders get targeted, maligned and taken down. Don't give any lever to the dirty tricks departments. They're already rolling out their toolkits. 4. Twitter, YouTube and Insta are your turf. Don't go offline. Those rules are different. Cops are thugs. India is not Nepal / Bangladesh. Democratic process: Use your voice and the platforms you know better than the Ministry of censorship. 5. Mail your MP, MLA, political party people. Find their numbers and call them up. Calling really works. Flood the lines. Their emails and numbers are online. Tell them what you think. They'll need your votes in the future. Make them accountable to you by asking them to speak for you. Don't request. Demand that they do something. Be angry. That's how the message goes up the ladder. This should be your next step. If enough of you do this, things will change. Find other ways to keep this alive without breaking the law. There's an old blog post I've been thinking about a lot of late: Nobody cares. Just win. I hope things work out for you.

Use electricity to generate hydrogen. Then use hydrogen to run a train that could very well run on electricity. While also making provisions to store hydrogen safely because it can catch fire. And making it available where it is needed. Cheers to the ‘green future’.
India’s indigenous hydrogen train is officially cleared for takeoff. ​Welcome to the green future of Indian Railways. And a seat at the global table with Germany, Japan, and China.🚉 First indigenous Hydrogen Train cleared for Jind-Sonipat route. Exhaust = water vapour only. ✅ 10-car Hydrogen Fuel Cell DEMU. ✅ 1,200 kW propulsion. ✅ 75 kmph on Jind-Sonipat pilot route. ✅ Indigenous refuelling at Jind. ✅ Part of ‘Hydrogen for Heritage’. 35 trains planned. Cost: ₹80 Cr per train ₹70 Cr infra. This is complete indigenous development from design, integration, to manufacturing. It boosts domestic supply chain for fuel cells, hydrogen storage & green tech. It reduces import dependence on fossil fuels and establishes India as an exporter of green rail solutions in the future. @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @makeinindia
