EV Charging Business Opportunities Along NH16

NH16 between Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam is a core artery of the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor, one of India's biggest planned industrial development zones, anchored by Visakhapatnam and Kakinada ports. A roughly Rs 3,800 crore project is currently widening a 160 km stretch of this highway to six lanes, with new flyovers, bypasses and underpasses, and the corridor is being pushed toward expressway-standard, controlled-access design.

That kind of investment brings freight, logistics and manufacturing traffic that keeps growing year after year. If your property sits anywhere between Eluru and Anakapalli, this is a highway that is only going to get busier.

  • A core artery of the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor and East Coast Economic Corridor
  • Rs 3,800 crore six-laning project already underway on this stretch
  • Visakhapatnam Port recently posted record annual cargo throughput

The real opportunity

You Are Not Just Selling Electricity

Think about a driver going from Vijayawada to Visakhapatnam. Around Rajahmundry, on the banks of the Godavari, or in Kakinada, close to the coast, they are already planning to stop for food and a look around. If your property offers a charging point along with a meal, 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.

Where this is heading

Why Demand on This Highway Will Keep Growing

NH16 sits at the centre of the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor and the wider East Coast Economic Corridor, both built around India's port and manufacturing growth. Visakhapatnam Port alone recently recorded its highest-ever annual cargo throughput, and Kakinada's port and industrial base continue to expand.

A highway carrying that much freight and commercial traffic is a natural fit for fleet electrification, and a property that plans for charging infrastructure now is well placed to serve that demand as it grows.

Vijayawada-Visakhapatnam EV Charging Questions

  • Can I set up an EV charging station on my property on this route?
    Yes. Hotels, dhabas, petrol pumps, warehouses and commercial properties along NH16 between Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam 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 Eluru, Rajahmundry, Kakinada, Tuni and Anakapalli see steady industrial, port-linked and highway traffic, which makes them strong locations to evaluate for an EV charging station.
  • Is NH16 between Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam being upgraded?
    Yes. A roughly Rs 3,800 crore project is widening a 160 km stretch of NH16 to six lanes with new flyovers, bypasses and underpasses, and separately the corridor is being converted toward expressway-standard, controlled-access design as part of the wider Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor.
  • How does the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor affect EV charging demand on this route?
    NH16 is a core artery of the Vizag-Chennai Industrial Corridor, which is built around Visakhapatnam and Kakinada ports and is seeing rising freight, logistics and manufacturing investment. That growth is steadily adding commercial and fleet traffic along this highway.
  • 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.
