India Goes Electric: Maruti Suzuki Unveils One India, One EV Charging Platform


Written by Tanisha Cardozo || Team Allycaral

Maruti Suzuki has officially entered the electric mobility landscape with a comprehensive, nationwide EV ecosystem designed to make charging seamless, accessible, and reliable for customers across India. With the launch of the One India, One EV Charging platform, the company introduces an end-to-end digital solution that integrates home charging, public charging, and a unified payment experience. As part of this transformation, Maruti Suzuki has collaborated with 13 leading Charge Point Operators and aggregators to create a consolidated national network, ensuring a frictionless user experience across all partner-operated charging stations. The company has already established more than 2,000 exclusive Maruti Suzuki charging points across its extensive sales and service network spread over 1,100 cities, making EV ownership more convenient than ever before.

Aligned with Suzuki’s global sustainability vision, Maruti Suzuki aims to enable a nationwide network of over 1,00,000 public charging points by 2030 in partnership with its dealers and CPOs. To demonstrate the strength and readiness of this ecosystem, four e VITARA Born EVs embarked on a unique pan-India ‘e drive,’ starting from Gurugram and travelling to Srinagar in the North, Kanyakumari in the South, Dibrugarh in the East, and Bhuj in the West. This symbolic journey reflects the brand’s commitment to building consumer confidence through real-world proof of charging accessibility and range reliability. The e VITARA itself has undergone rigorous testing over more than one crore kilometres in conditions ranging from scorching 60°C heat to freezing –30°C cold, consistently delivering a range of 543 kilometres.

Maruti Suzuki’s nationwide showroom network and over 1,500 service workshops have been upgraded to be EV-ready, supported by a trained workforce of 1.5 lakh professionals equipped to deliver top-notch EV ownership experiences. The company has also launched the ‘e for me’ app, enabling customers and prospective buyers to locate charging stations across the national network with ease. By bringing together advanced product development, widespread charging access, and digital integration, Maruti Suzuki is poised to redefine EV ownership in India and strengthen the country’s journey toward a sustainable mobility future.

VinFast Drives Into India: Opens First EV Showroom in Surat, Gujarat


Vietnam’s electric vehicle powerhouse VinFast has officially entered the Indian market, launching its first showroom in Surat, Gujarat. This move marks the company’s strategic push into one of the world’s fastest-growing EV markets.

VinFast’s vision is clear and bold — it aims to establish 35 showrooms across India by the end of 2025, supported by a robust charging and service network. With a focus on sustainable mobility, affordable innovation, and sleek designs, the company is looking to appeal to India’s young and eco-conscious consumers.

Surat, a city known for its industrial spirit and clean energy initiatives, serves as the perfect launchpad for VinFast’s ambitions.

This debut comes amid India’s aggressive push toward EV adoption, with government incentives, rising fuel prices, and environmental awareness driving consumer interest.

The move also signals intensifying global competition in India’s EV space, with players like Tata, Mahindra, MG, and now VinFast seeking leadership in the rapidly expanding segment.

As VinFast prepares to roll out its first fleet of electric SUVs and two-wheelers, the Indian auto sector gears up for a new chapter in green transportation.
