Indus Towers to expand into EV charging infrastructure

Indus Towers Limited, a prominent telecom tower infrastructure provider in India, has announced plans to enter the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure sector. The company received board approval to explore business opportunities in this emerging market, marking a strategic diversification from its core telecom infrastructure business.

The company has already initiated pilot EV charging stations in Gurugram and Bengaluru, leveraging its existing expertise in space management, power supply, and operations and maintenance. This move aligns with the Indian government's push to accelerate EV adoption and develop supporting infrastructure across the country.

With India's automotive sector rapidly transitioning towards electrification, Indus Towers sees potential in utilizing its extensive infrastructure capabilities to support the growing EV ecosystem. The company believes its experience in managing telecom infrastructure positions it uniquely to provide efficient EV charging solutions.

The strategic expansion represents part of Indus Towers' long-term growth strategy, focusing on identifying and developing adjacent business opportunities that complement its existing strengths. By entering the EV charging infrastructure sector, the company aims to contribute to India's sustainable transportation goals while exploring new revenue streams.

The announcement comes at a critical time when India is actively promoting electric mobility through policy incentives and infrastructure development initiatives. Indus Towers' entry signals growing corporate interest in supporting the country's clean energy transportation transformation.
