EV's & Charging Infrastructure
Electric mobility is emerging as a critical pillar of Odisha’s clean energy and urban sustainability transition. With rising fuel costs, growing urban congestion, and tightening emission norms, electric vehicles offer a practical pathway to reduce pollution while improving energy efficiency across transport systems.
Odisha’s EV opportunity is strongest in high-utilisation segments such as electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, fleet vehicles, buses, and last-mile logistics. However, the pace of EV adoption is closely linked to the availability of reliable, accessible, and grid-ready charging infrastructure.
The Odisha Cleantech Association (OCA) works to support the development of a robust EV charging ecosystem that is technically sound, commercially viable, and aligned with Odisha’s power, urban development, and industrial priorities.

Charging Infrastructure in Odisha
Charging infrastructure is the backbone of electric mobility adoption.
Odisha’s charging ecosystem requires a mix of deployment models, including public charging stations, fleet and depot charging, workplace and commercial charging, and residential solutions. Given local grid conditions and land availability, charging infrastructure must be designed with careful attention to load management, uptime, and operational economics.
Integration with renewable energy and energy storage systems is increasingly important to manage peak loads, improve reliability, and reduce pressure on distribution networks.
