In a significant boost to India’s accelerating electric vehicle (EV) revolution, Exicom Tele-Systems, the nation’s leading provider of EV charging solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with GLIDA (formerly known as Fortum Charge & Drive India). This collaboration is set to deploy 5,000 high-speed DC fast chargers nationwide, marking one of the largest expansions of public fast-charging infrastructure in the country.
As India’s EV market surges—wiExicom brings its proven expertise as a homegrown leader in EV charging hardware. The company has already deployed tens of thousands of chargers across India and globally, including advanced models like the Harmony Gen 1.5 DC fast chargers capable of up to 400kW output—the fastest in the country. These chargers support multiple standards (CCS, CHAdeMO, and more), offer high efficiency (>95%), and feature AI-driven remote monitoring for predictive maintenance and superior uptime.

GLIDA, rebranded from Fortum Charge & Drive India in 2023, operates one of India’s most advanced public charging networks. With over 900+ charging points already spread across multiple states, highways, and cities, GLIDA focuses on seamless user experiences through its app, interoperable solutions, and high-power setups like 200kW ultrafast chargers. The partnership leverages Exicom’s manufacturing strength and GLIDA’s operational network to scale rapidly.
High-speed DC chargers can deliver hundreds of kilometers of range in just 15-30 minutes, making long-distance travel far more practical for electric cars, buses, and commercial fleets. By prioritizing highways and urban hotspots, the initiative will create a more connected charging ecosystem, encouraging more consumers and businesses to switch to EVs.
This collaboration aligns with the government’s push for robust EV infrastructure under initiatives like PM E-Drive and FAME schemes, which aim for millions of public chargers by 2030. By combining Exicom’s cutting-edge technology with GLIDA’s established presence, the partnership promises faster deployment, higher reliability, and a more user-friendly charging experience.
As India races toward sustainable mobility, moves like this could be game-changers—turning range anxiety into confidence and accelerating the shift to zero-emission transport. Stay tuned for updates as the first wave of these 5,000 chargers begins to roll ou
