Mumbai – Travelers rushing to catch flights at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport can now also recharge more than just their phones and laptops. Tata Power and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited (TPEM) have teamed up to unveil India’s largest co-branded Tata.ev MegaCharger hub—strategically located near The Leela Mumbai Hotel—on none other than World EV Day. Because nothing screams “global green ambitions” like an EV pit stop next to an international departure lounge.
Fast, Furious, and Fully Green
This mega hub features eight 120 kW DC fast chargers that can juice up 16 electric vehicles simultaneously, from zippy city hatchbacks to chauffeured SUVs. And yes, it runs on 100% green energy—so every kilometer added is guilt-free, at least environmentally (your parking charges are another story). Open 24/7, the hub ensures EV owners never again have to mutter, “Sorry boss, I can’t come to the airport, my car’s on 3%.”
The Inaugural Spark
The ribbon (or rather, charging cable) was jointly plugged in by Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power, and Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility & Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. While Dr. Sinha hailed the initiative as a “benchmark for future-ready EV infrastructure,” Chandra reminded everyone that Tata isn’t just making EVs—they’re building the whole ecosystem.
Airport Vibes, Mega Convenience
The location is more than symbolic—it’s practical. With tourists, taxis, hotel guests, ride-hailing fleets, and corporate warriors buzzing around the Andheri-BKC-South Mumbai corridor, the hub ensures that everyone—from vacationing families to overworked executives—can keep their EVs as charged as their frequent flyer miles.
Perks for the Tata Tribe
All EVs are welcome at the hub, but Tata.ev customers get VIP treatment: discounts of up to 25% and priority charging access. That’s like the business-class lounge of EV charging—minus the free peanuts. The entire experience is integrated into the Tata Power EZ Charge App (already flaunting 4 lakh registered users) and will soon sync with the iRA.ev connected car app, making charging as seamless as swiping your boarding pass.
Scaling Up the Grid
This hub adds to Tata Power’s 1,000+ charging points in Mumbai and a national network spanning 5,500+ public chargers, 1.4 lakh home chargers, and 1,200+ bus chargers. With a target of 10,000 public chargers and 7.5 lakh home units by 2030, Tata Power is clearly betting that India’s EV boom won’t just take off—it’ll soar higher than the planes taking off next door.
