India's public EV charging network in numbers
Every figure on this page is computed from ChargeDekho's merged register of 39,916 public charging points: the BEE public register (data to 26 October 2025) joined with the public locators of nine networks, the Delhi Government list and Google Maps, read on 18 September 2026. Journalists and researchers may quote any number here with attribution to ChargeDekho; the CSV downloads carry the same tables. Method →
1. Half of India's charging points cannot charge a car
19,813 of 39,916 listed points (49.6%) are two-wheeler sockets of 3.3 kW or less, or battery-swap cabinets. Of the 20,103 points that can charge a car, 14,482 (72%) are DC fast chargers of 25 kW or more.

5. A week of readings: one station in four never showed as available
ChargeDekho read the availability of 6,771 Statiq-listed stations four times a day from 18 September 2026 to 25 September 2026: 1,95,664 readings. At any moment 62.7% of stations showed "available". The median station was available in 83% of its readings; 2,085 stations (30.8%) were available in every reading and 1,650 (24.4%) in none, which on a public listing means offline all week. One aggregator's listings, one week; every station page shows its own share.

The register lags the ground
22,400 points (56.1%) appear only in the BEE public register (data to 26 October 2025), and 13,677 points (34.3%) listed by operators or Google are absent from it. In Delhi NCR, Google Maps lists 1,104 EV charging places; 252 of them (22.8%) appear in no public register or operator locator we read. 701 of them carry a Google rating, with 3,135 reviews between them.
7. Highways

About these figures
How many public EV charging stations are there in India?
ChargeDekho lists 39,916 public charging points as of 18 September 2026, merged from the BEE register and nine operator locators at 60 m: 20,103 can charge a car, 14,482 are DC fast chargers of 25 kW or more, and 19,813 are two-wheeler sockets or swap cabinets. Government counts differ because each source counts different things: BEE counts registered stations, operators count guns.
Can I use these numbers?
Yes, with attribution to ChargeDekho (chargedekho.in) and the date on this page. The CSV and JSON links carry the same tables. Tell us when you do; corrections are applied within five working days.
Why does the count keep changing?
The register is rebuilt whenever a source is re-read; the page shows the read date. Station pages are released a few per city per day after a launch set, but every statistic here uses the full register, not only the pages published so far.
