EV Charging Business Opportunities Along NH48

Bengaluru to Chennai is one of South India's most important business corridors, and it is about to get a lot faster. A dedicated Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway is under construction alongside the existing NH48, and once fully open it is expected to cut travel time to around three hours, down from five or six today.

Even before that expressway fully opens, this corridor is already busy. Hosur's manufacturing belt, Vellore's medical tourism traffic, and Kanchipuram's temple and silk trade all bring steady footfall to properties along NH48.

  • A new dedicated expressway is under construction, running alongside this highway
  • Hosur's manufacturing hub, Vellore's hospital traffic, Kanchipuram's silk and temple trade
  • Rising industrial and real estate investment along this corridor already

The real opportunity

You Are Not Just Selling Electricity

Think about a family driving from Bengaluru to Vellore for a hospital appointment. It is not a leisure trip, but they still need food, rest and a place to park while they are there, sometimes for days at a stretch. If your property offers a charging point along with those basics, you have given them a reason to choose your stop over the next one.

That is the actual business: EV charging plus food, rest, shopping and parking, packaged as one stop, not an isolated charger standing alone in a parking lot.

  • Tea and coffee counters near the charging bay
  • Food and dining while the vehicle charges
  • Hotel stay, shopping or a proper rest break
Straight talk

What You Can Realistically Expect

A 60 kW DC fast charger running at good utilization can add up to meaningful monthly revenue, but the real number on your property depends on traffic at your exact spot, your charging price, electricity cost, demand charges and nearby competition.

We are not going to quote you a fixed monthly income figure without seeing your site. What MSEB Power can do is walk your property, look at the numbers with you, and give you an honest read on whether it makes sense before you invest.

Where this is heading

Why Demand on This Highway Will Keep Growing

The Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway is one of South India's biggest infrastructure projects, and land prices and industrial investment along this general corridor have already been rising steadily since the project was finalised. Hosur in particular is seeing rapid growth as an electronics and auto manufacturing hub just outside Bengaluru.

More electric vehicles are entering both personal and commercial fleets on this route every year, and a property that plans for charging infrastructure now is well placed to serve that demand as the corridor gets busier and faster.

Bengaluru-Chennai EV Charging Questions

  • Can I set up an EV charging station on my property on this route?
    Yes. Hotels, dhabas, petrol pumps and commercial properties along NH48 between Bengaluru and Chennai can add EV charging as an additional service. MSEB Power evaluates your site and recommends the right charger setup for your traffic and available power.
  • How much does an EV charging station cost on this highway?
    Cost depends on the charger type, capacity, and how much electrical upgrade your site needs. A basic AC charging point costs less than a high-power DC fast charger built for highway traffic. Share your location and property type with our team for a site-specific quote.
  • Which stretches on this highway are best for EV charging stations?
    Natural halt points such as Hosur, Krishnagiri, Vellore, Ranipet and Kanchipuram see steady industrial, medical and highway traffic, which makes them strong locations to evaluate for an EV charging station.
  • How does the new Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway affect EV charging demand here?
    A new access-controlled expressway between Bengaluru and Chennai is under construction and expected to cut travel time to around three hours once fully open. Even before it opens end to end, the surrounding NH48 corridor is seeing rising industrial and real estate activity, which is worth factoring into a charging station's business case.
  • Can solar and battery storage (BESS) be added to a highway EV charging station?
    Yes, where the site is suitable. Solar can offset part of your daytime charging load, and BESS can store that power for use during peak hours or grid outages. Our team evaluates whether solar and BESS make sense for your specific site before recommending them.
  • How long does installation take?
    Timelines vary with electrical readiness, charger capacity and any civil work needed. After a site visit, our team can share a realistic timeline covering approvals, installation and commissioning for your property.
