The Indian Charge Point Operators Association (ICPOA) hosted its annual event–Bharat EV Charging Conclave 2025 in New Delhi. Bringing together Charge Point Operators (CPOs), Charger Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Electric Mobility Service Providers (EMSPs), policymakers, utilities, OEMs and technology experts, ICPOA led robust sector-wide deliberation on scaling reliable and consumer-centric EV charging infrastructure for India’s electrification goals.

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 realising 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 commitment to interoperability, reliability and expanding charging networks nationwide. The key initiatives include raising consumer awareness through the Know Your Battery (KYB) programme, 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 and 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.”

ICPOA’s founding members include GLIDA, ChargeZone, Zeon, EVRE, Magenta Mobility, Jio-BP Mobility, ADOR, Exicom, Tirex, Mindra, Gentari, VNT, Bright Blu, One Plug, Pulse Energy and Plugzmart. The alliance continues to expand, with new members joining in response to rapid market evolution. These stakeholders will work together in building a strong and reliable charging infrastructure.

The Bharat EV Charging Conclave 2025 featured a series of thought-provoking sessions that brought together key stakeholders from across the electric mobility ecosystem. The event included keynote addresses and panel discussions with leaders from government bodies, think tanks, consulting organisations and industry experts, who explored topics like policy frameworks, grid integration and strategies for advancing clean mobility.

Automakers shared their experiences with EV deployment, highlighting learnings and measures to build consumer confidence. Utilities and energy partners focused on the integration of renewables and ensuring grid readiness to support widespread EV adoption. Additionally, leading industry voices presented new research, showcased technological advancements and emphasised the importance of reliability in the public EV charging experience.
