Magenta, the fastest growing Indian Charge Point Operator (CPO) company in collaboration with Central Railways inaugurated a Public EV charging station along with the Parel Railway Station. The charging station was inaugurated by Shri. Subhash Desai, Hon. Minister of Industry and Mining. Over the next two weeks, Magenta shall also set up the EV charging station along with the Dadar and Byculla Railway stations.

The first of its kind public charging station will be functional 24*7 initially with the unique Made in India Streetlamp Integrated EV Charging Stations (ChargeGrid FLARE) and subsequently with DC Fast chargers. This combination of AC and DC chargers will support 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers. These chargers can be operated through the ChargeGrid App with online remote monitoring which includes an automated payment gateway, thereby eliminating the need of having a station marshal to monitor, maintain & operate the chargers at the location.

Magenta is currently installing 4500 chargers across 108 cities in India (2950 chargers under the FAME-2 scheme along REIL; more than 1200 chargers along with Petrol stations such as HPCL and others; 82 at FERN Hotels; Residential chargers in collaboration with Government of Delhi; Residential chargers at Bengaluru Apartment Federation). This will support the government initiative of setting up 400,000 charging stations to meet the requirement for two million Electric Vehicles (EV) that could potentially ply on its roads by 2026.

Mr. Maxson Lewis, MD & Co-founder of Magenta Group said, “Installing EV chargers at Mumbai Railway Stations is a dream come true for me at a personal level. The adoption of electric vehicles cannot be said to have taken off if the common man’s concern of EV charging is not addressed, and what better than making EV charging available at the most synonymous locations for Mumbai’s common man – railway stations.”

Dr. Kiran C Patel said, “I’m proud to be associated with the Magenta family, to make my vision of an EV ready India possible. This initiative of Street lamp-based EV charging station at a railway station is unique, since it’s Made in India and Made for India”

Shri. Subhash Desai, Hon. Minister of Industry and Mining said, “We are glad to see Magenta with Central Railways pushing ‘green initiatives and setting up EV charging stations addressing the lack of the charging infrastructure for EVs to operate smoothly. This initiative will bring relief to people who can charge their EVs at key locations near Railway stations as well.”

The Fern Hotels & Resorts, India’s leading environmentally sensitive hotel chain has tied up with Magenta, the fastest growing Indian Charge Point Operator (CPO) company, to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) across all its properties in the country. Three of the company’s hotels in Lonavala, Karad and Bengaluru have already installed the EVCS. The Fern Hotels & Resorts is amongst the fastest-growing hotel brands in India. Magenta shall install, operate and manage DC fast chargers at over 84 Fern Hotels & resorts, spread across 69 locations in India.

Speaking on the tie-up Mr Suhail Kannampilly, CEO, The Fern Hotels & Resort said, “Offering EV charging facility to our customers fits well with Fern’s commitment to promoting environment-friendly options at the facilities for various customer segments. We are proud to partner with Magenta to install, operate and maintain DC fast chargers at all the Fern properties. By providing EV charging solutions, The Fern will be future-ready and will be able to attract multiple EV vehicle users at their properties”

Welcoming the partnership, Mr Maxson Lewis, the MD of Magenta said, “We are delighted to partner with an environment-sensitive hotel company like The Fern Hotels & Resorts. We will be providing all the necessary infrastructural support. EV charging facility for customers is becoming a huge value addition for hotels on highways and cities. The customers utilizing EV charging solutions will also lead to more sales for hotels through the Food & Beverages category during their stay. Magenta is looking forward to have a long-term fruitful association with The Fern.”

These charging solutions are mobile application enabled (OCCP based) and come with numerous other customer-friendly features. These chargers can be located by EV users using the ChargeGrid application. ChargeGrid app provides a seamless experience from finding a charger to completing a charging session with online payment.

Hotel chains embracing the EV charging infrastructure will attract tomorrow’s guests ahead of time. Providing an EV charging facility will also present a great chance to build loyalty with EV customers for hotel chains. A typical DC fast EV charging session lasts for around 45 to 60 minutes, which is also sufficient time for customers to have their meals during breaks at hotels while on highways. Overall, this move will encourage & support EV Vehicle adoption, thus further helping reduce the overall carbon footprint of the hotel’s chain.
