How to start an EV charging station franchise in India
Updated perspective · 7 min read
Starting an EV charging station franchise in India is now simpler than ever: charging is a de-licensed activity under the 2024 Ministry of Power guidelines, so you don't need a power licence to operate a station.
A typical DC fast-charging franchise starts from around ₹10–15 lakh including hardware and infrastructure. The biggest driver of returns is location: high-dwell, high-traffic sites like malls, highways and commercial complexes utilise better.
With EZIT, you invest in the charger while we secure the location, install, own and operate everything end-to-end. A well-utilised DC site typically delivers around 45% annual ROI with a 2–3 year payback.
The practical path: speak to an operator, model your returns with an ROI calculator, and confirm the site, tariff and agreement structure before committing.
