A large share of public chargers is concentrated in major urban centers, and several regions continue to face shortages of fast EV chargers, particularly along highways and in emerging EV markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large-Scale_Infrastructure_Expansion\"><\/span><strong>Large-Scale Infrastructure Expansion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growth_Plans_from_Tataev\"><\/span><strong>Growth Plans from Tata.ev<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tata.ev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tata.ev<\/a>, one of the most active contributors to India\u2019s EV charging expansion, has announced plans to scale India\u2019s charging network to <strong>400,000 charge points by 2027<\/strong>.
