 ZETWERK, the world’s largest marketplace for contract manufacturing has announced a major milestone in the Electric vehicle (EV) sector with the approval of its 60kW and 120kW DC fast chargers by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). This certification is a leap forward in ZETWERK's commitment to bolstering the EV infrastructure in India and aligns with the government’s ‘Make-in-India’ initiative.

The ARAI, a premier research institution under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, granted this approval after rigorous testing of ZETWERK’s DC fast chargers. These chargers are designed to meet the highest safety standards, environmental compliance, and performance, ensuring that they provide reliable and efficient charging solutions across the country.

ZETWERK’s DC fast chargers are poised to play a crucial role in expanding the EV ecosystem in India. The company has already secured contracts to supply these chargers to Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and other private charge point operators. This partnership will increase the availability of fast-charging stations, addressing one of the critical barriers to widespread EV adoption—charging infrastructure.

“Securing ARAI certification is a big win for us and reaffirms our commitment to product quality, safety, and reliability. We are proud to contribute to India’s manufacturing growth with this certification, which supports the ‘Make in India’ initiative and emphasizes our role in promoting electric vehicle adoption through premium, domestically produced chargers. Our goal is to provide end-to-end solutions that address the current needs for future innovations in sustainable energy,” said Srinath Ramakkrushnan, Co-founder and COO of ZETWERK.

The company will be launching several exciting new products this financial year to strengthen our market presence.  ZETWERK is currently engaged in research and development to expand its product offerings and is currently working on next-generation Super DC Chargers with capacities of 240kW and 360kW. These high-capacity chargers deliver faster charging times, catering to commercial and public EV charging stations. This R&D initiative reflects ZETWERK's long-term vision of revolutionizing the EV charging infrastructure.

This ARAI certification is a milestone in our journey to revolutionize the EV charging infrastructure in India,” said Abhay Adya, Business Head – Energy Transition Business, ZETWERK. “Our DC fast chargers are set to impact the EV ecosystem by ensuring users access quick, reliable charging solutions. By collaborating with key partners like IOCL, we are helping to build a robust and sustainable EV infrastructure that will support the rapid growth of electric mobility in India.”

The partnership with IOCL, announced earlier this year, is ZETWERK’s commitment to India’s transition to cleaner energy. As part of this collaboration, ZETWERK is set to deploy over 1,400 EV fast chargers across the country. These chargers will have capacities ranging from 50kW to 120kW and will be equipped with advanced DC Dual Gun CCS2 DC Charger technology. This initiative is a cornerstone of IOCL’s renewable energy mission, aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and promoting sustainable mobility solutions.

As India accelerates its push towards electrification, fast and reliable charging infrastructure is critical. ZETWERK’s certified DC fast chargers are a much-needed addition to the country’s EV ecosystem, ensuring that private and commercial vehicles can charge quickly and efficiently. With ongoing R&D efforts and strategic partnerships, ZETWERK is positioned to lead the charge in transforming India’s EV infrastructure, paving the way for a sustainable and electrified future.
