India is getting ready to roll out its own homegrown wireless charger for electric vehicles.
The deets: The charger has been developed by C-DAC (T) and VNIT Nagpur, and it’s now been handed over to an Indian firm for commercial production.
This new 1.5 kW wireless charger can charge up to 90% of an EV battery in about three hours. Just park, align, and let the tech do the rest.
In simple terms, it runs on a regular household electricity connection. Think of it like wireless phone charging, but scaled up for your ride.
Additionally, it comes with all the essential safety tech including short-circuit protection, overcharge prevention, and high-efficiency tech to make sure nothing fries.
Zoom out: with over 45 lakh EVs already on Indian roads, the government is now pushing hard to upgrade charging tech and expand charging infrastructure. Wireless charging could make EV adoption easier, especially in cities where finding a plug point is still a hassle.
This is a made-in-India push to simplify how we charge electric vehicles. And it may just be the thing that gets more Indians to ditch petrol for good.
Big theme: in India EV is now going mainstream. With over 45 lakh EVs registered, the country is already seeing a shift on the ground, from electric scooters zipping through traffic to buses silently powering city routes.
The government is also offering incentives, subsidies, and policy support to make EVs more affordable and infrastructure more reliable. Schemes like FAME, production-linked incentives (PLIs), and state-level policies are pushing manufacturers to go electric.
At the same time, companies like Tata Motors, Ola Electric, Ather, and MG are rolling out new models across two-wheelers, four-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. Even legacy players are jumping in with their EV lineups.
But the big unlock now is charging, making it easier, faster, and more accessible. That’s where innovations like wireless chargers, fast-charging stations, and battery-swapping models come in.
In the long-term goal, India wants EVs to make up 30–40% of total vehicle sales by 2030, cut oil imports, and lower urban pollution. We're not there yet, but the wheels are definitely in motion, and they’re running electric.
