120 kW Fast Chargers, Premium Pit Stops, and a Promise of Seamless Electric Travel
Mumbai: India’s EV story just got a little faster — and a lot more comfortable. In a move that blends speed with convenience, TATA.ev has partnered with Shell India Mobility to roll out 21 TATA.ev x Shell Mega Charging Hubs across Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysore, Pune, and Vadodara.
Because let’s be honest — range anxiety is real. But so is snack hunger.

Strategically located along key highway corridors and urban hotspots, the newly inaugurated Mega Charging Hubs feature:
- 120 kW DC fast chargers
- Multiple charging bays for higher vehicle throughput
- On-ground marshals to assist EV owners
- Access to Shell Select & Deli2go for fresh food and beverages

- Curated menu offers exclusively for Tata EV owners
In short, your EV charges while you recharge.
Expanding a Nationwide EV Ecosystem
With these additions, the TATA.ev Mega Charging Hub network now exceeds 130 operational sites across India.
Under its ambitious ‘Open Collaboration 2.0’ framework, TATA.ev is working with Charge Point Operators to build:
- 400,000+ charging points by 2027
- 500 Mega Charging Hubs nationwide
- Seamless high-speed charging corridors for long-distance EV travel
Balaje Rajan, Chief Strategy Officer at Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd. and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said EV infrastructure remains central to accelerating India’s electric mobility transition. The partnership with Shell adds a combined capacity of 2,500 kW, reinforcing TATA.ev’s leadership in building reliable public charging infrastructure.

More Than Charging — It’s an Experience
What differentiates the TATA.ev x Shell hubs is their premium, no-hassle experience. No complicated app juggling. No awkward charger confusion. Just plug in, grab a coffee, stretch your legs, and get back on the road.
As India’s EV adoption accelerates — led strongly by Tata’s electric portfolio — infrastructure expansion is becoming as important as vehicle innovation.
And if this momentum continues, long EV road trips may soon feel less like calculated missions — and more like spontaneous getaways.
Because when charging is fast, reliable, and comes with a hot sandwich — the journey becomes just as exciting as the destination.
