Industry partners committed to reliability in EVs
The Indian Charge Point Operators Association (ICPOA), the first and only industry body dedicated exclusively to EV charging infrastructure, hosted its flagship annual event – Bharat EV Charging Conclave 2025 which brought together Charge Point Operators (CPOs), Charger Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Electric Mobility Service Providers (EMSPs), policymakers, utilities, OEMs, and technology experts https://www.chargeindia.org/.
ICPOA led robust sector-wide deliberation on scaling reliable, consumer-centric EV charging infrastructure for India’s electrification goals at the conclave held in New Delhi.
Established as a Section 8 not-for-profit, ICPOA’s mission is to drive industry collaboration, champion investments, shape progressive and implementable policies, and promote consumer awareness vital for realizing India’s clean mobility and net zero ambitions.
The ICPOA annual event, the Bharat EV Charging Conclave 2025, marked a significant gathering of sector leaders, government stakeholders, and industry partners, demonstrating strong commitment to interoperability, reliability, and expanding charging networks nationwide. Key initiatives include raising consumer awareness through the Know Your Battery (KYB) program, engaging closely with government and regulators to develop practical policies, and fostering partnerships across government bodies, OEMs, energy companies, and researchers to ensure roaming, interoperability, and reliable charging services across all regions.
Speaking at the event, Awadhesh Kumar Jha, Executive Director, Glida and Chairman, ICPOA, commented, “Our journey began with a clear need: charging was treated as a footnote, not as the foundation of EV adoption. ICPOA was created to put charging at the centre of India’s mobility transition.
“Our mission is straightforward; empower consumers through confidence, support practical policies, and unite the ecosystem for scalable, transparent infrastructure. We call on industry partners, automakers, utilities, and regulators to work together. With KYB – Know Your Battery, and our commitment to reliability, we are determined to make EV adoption not just viable, but irresistible for every Indian driver.”
