Relux Electric and TNGECL to set up 500 EV charging stations in Tamil Nadu

Relux Electric Private Limited has partnered with the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) to set up 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Tamil Nadu, furthering the state’s green energy initiatives.

Relux Electric Private Limited has joined hands with the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL), a state-owned company established in 2024 to accelerate Tamil Nadu’s green energy initiatives, to set up 500 EV charging stations across the state, driving Tamil Nadu’s transition into an electric mobility hub.

 Relux Electric and TNGECL will conduct a feasibility study to identify suitable government-owned lands across Tamil Nadu for the charging stations. This initiative aligns with the state’s vision to expand EV infrastructure, reduce carbon emissions, and promote cleaner and more sustainable transportation.

Karthikeyan S., Managing Director, Relux Electric Private Limited, said, “This collaboration between the state and Relux comes at the right time to accelerate EV adoption in Tamil Nadu. It will be a significant step towards transforming Tamil Nadu into an electric mobility hub and will open up opportunities to further strengthen charging infrastructure at customer-friendly locations.”

TNGECL is expanding Tamil Nadu’s EV infrastructure by collaborating with municipal bodies, bus depots and other public locations. The initiative aims to deploy surplus and strategically located EV charging stations, making charging more accessible for the public and supporting the state’s vision of cleaner, sustainable transportation.

Currently Tamil Nadu has around 1,300 EV charging stations and is developing a digital map to help users easily locate nearby charging points. TNGECL also plans to establish dedicated EV hubs equipped with public-friendly facilities to enhance user convenience.
