Battery swapping solutions provider Indofast Energy has partnered with EV charging infrastructure company Zeon Charging to expand its battery-swapping network across Southern India. The rollout has begun in Bengaluru, where battery-swapping stations are being installed at premium commercial locations.
Under the partnership, Indofast Energy will deploy its Quick Interchange Stations (QIS) at Zeon Charging's network of premium malls, metro parking facilities and commercial hubs. Following Bengaluru, the network will be expanded to Hyderabad, Chennai and other key cities in Southern India. The initiative aims to improve access to battery-swapping infrastructure for commercial EV users, particularly delivery riders.
The first phase of the rollout includes six QIS units across two locations in Bengaluru, including Orion Mall, Rajajinagar. The companies are also evaluating the addition of five to six more stations at Orion Mall in the next phase. According to the companies, locations with existing power infrastructure and high vehicle footfall have been prioritised for deployment.
Indofast Energy currently operates more than 450 battery-swapping stations in Bengaluru. Nationwide, the company has a network of over 1,900 swap stations across 24 cities, supporting more than 120,000 electric vehicles.
Commenting on the partnership, Subhash Bhat, Interim CEO of Indofast Energy, said the collaboration with Zeon Charging will help bring battery-swapping services to highly accessible locations across Southern India. He added that the partnership will provide commercial EV fleets and delivery riders with faster, more convenient and reliable battery-swapping solutions, further accelerating the adoption of electric mobility.
