EV Charging Business Opportunities Along NH48

Mumbai and Bengaluru are two of India's biggest business and IT hubs, and NH48 is one of the busiest corridors connecting them through Pune and Kolhapur. That is a long drive, which means EV drivers on this route need a real charging stop somewhere along the way, not just at the two ends.

If your property sits anywhere on this stretch, from Khopoli to Tumakuru, an EV charging station can turn a routine highway halt into a small revenue stream that keeps working long after the installation is done.

  • Steady traffic between two major metros, all year round
  • Natural halt towns like Lonavala, Satara and Kolhapur already draw travellers
  • Growing EV and hybrid fleet on inter-city and logistics routes

The real opportunity

You Are Not Just Selling Electricity

Think about a driver going from Mumbai to Pune. Somewhere around Lonavala or Khandala, they need a break anyway. If your property offers a charging point along with tea, food, a place to sit or a room to rest, 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.

Why Demand on This Highway Will Keep Growing

More electric cars, SUVs, taxis and commercial vehicles are entering service on Indian highways every year, and the Mumbai-Pune-Bengaluru corridor is one of the busiest routes for both business travel and logistics. A property that plans for charging infrastructure now is better placed to serve that traffic as it grows.

India's charging ecosystem is also expanding through government and private investment. NHAI's Wayside Amenity programme already brings EV charging alongside fuel, food and parking at planned highway stops, and independent property owners on this route can build the same kind of offering.

NH48 EV Charging Questions

  • Can I set up an EV charging station on my hotel or petrol pump on NH48?
    Yes. Hotels, restaurants, petrol pumps, food plazas and commercial properties along the Mumbai-Pune-Kolhapur-Bengaluru highway 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 Lonavala-Khandala, Pune, Satara, Karad, Kolhapur and Belagavi see steady highway traffic and existing hospitality footfall, which makes them strong locations to evaluate for an EV charging station.
  • Does MSEB Power provide the charging equipment or only consultancy?
    MSEB Power works as your consultancy and project partner. We help with site assessment, charger selection, sourcing coordination through our technology partners, installation coordination, commissioning support and AMC, so you do not have to manage every vendor yourself.
  • 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.
