C-DAC (T) and Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) Nagpur have developed an indigenous EV wireless charger capable of charging 90 percent of the battery in about three hours.

The indigenous wireless charger is designed to operate on a 230-volt, 50 Hz AC single-phase supply. It can charge a 4.8 kWh onboard battery pack at 48 volts using 30 amperes in three hours, charging almost 90 percent of the battery.

The charger also includes advanced safety features like short-circuit and open-circuit protection as well as silicon carbide-based MO SFETs operating at 88 kHz.

Earlier in April, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) announced the transfer of technology for the indigenous 1.5 kw Wireless Charger technology to M/s Global Business Solution Pvt. Ltd.

Secretary, MeitY, S. Krishnan, informed the signing of agreements (ToT/MoA/MoU) with industries for commercialisation of technologies developed under the National Mission on Power Electronics Technology (NaMPET).

The India Government has over 45 lakh registered electric vehicles (EV) and has launched numerous initiatives to promote electric vehicle (EV) production and usage in India. India is now actively working towards increasing the number of charging stations and improving its technology.

In December 2024, the ministry implemented several schemes to promote EVs to address challenges in their adoption, including the PM E-DRIVE scheme and the PSM scheme. The Ministry of Finance has also reduced GST on EVs from 12 percent to five percent.
