Indofast Energy has entered into a strategic partnership with EV charging infrastructure provider GLIDA to co-locate battery swapping stations at established public charging sites across India.
The initiative launches with 10 Quick Interchange Stations deployed across GLIDA locations in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Over the next 12 months, the two companies aim to expand the network to 50 sites housing more than 100 battery swapping stations. The integrated approach brings high-power charging and battery swapping into single energy hubs serving diverse vehicle categories.
