In a significant stride toward bolstering the country’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and fostering a more sustainable future, Mahindra & Mahindra announced on Thursday the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Adani Total Energies E-Mobility Ltd (ATEL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Total Gas Ltd.
The MoU outlines a roadmap for the development of an extensive EV charging infrastructure nationwide.
According to a joint statement by the companies, this partnership will facilitate the deployment of e-mobility solutions aimed at providing customers with seamless access to the charging network. These solutions will encompass aspects such as discovery, availability, navigation, and transactions.

Collaborating with M&M on charging infrastructure will bolster customer confidence in adopting EV technology as part of the energy transition.”
