2025 emerged as a defining year for India’s clean–tech ecosystem, marking a decisive shift from hardware-led expansion to a more integrated phase that unites clean power, charging infrastructure, sustainable manufacturing, and end-to-end product and service innovation. The year also saw accelerated adoption of diversified clean-energy solutions, enabling the deployment of off-grid, ethanol-based, CO₂-neutral fast-charging technologies for sustainable mobility in remote regions, while a renewed focus on manufacturing excellence—driven by ZED practices and NABL and BIS certifications—continued to strengthen India’s ambition to compete at a global industrial standard.
For TCPL, 2025 has been a year of decisive execution and strategic growth. The company strengthened its clean energy platform through the acquisition of German startup ME Energy, an ethanol-based, CO₂-neutral fast-charging technology company focused on remote and global markets. It also expanded its EV charging footprint with the addition of new public charging stations and the onboarding of over 90 partner locations, and successfully secured its first large infrastructure order for packaged substation systems in Telangana, validating its entry into high-value B2B power infrastructure. Alongside this, TCPL marked its strategic re-entry into transformer manufacturing and deepened organisational capabilities through focused team expansion to support its next phase of growth.
EV charging technology has advanced rapidly over the past year with the deployment of upgraded 7.4 kW chargers, the introduction of upcoming 22 kW AC charging solutions, and the rollout of new dual-combination gun chargers that enhance compatibility across leading OEM brands. On the grid side, renewed momentum in transformer manufacturing highlights the growing importance of reliable power equipment for both electric mobility and renewable energy integration. The rapid adoption of modular packaged substations by leading infrastructure players further reflects the rising demand for high-performance, fully integrated power distribution systems.
Looking ahead to 2026, industry focus is expected to sharpen on the integration of smart charging along high-traffic transport corridors, deeper electrification of transport fleets, and the development of renewable-ready grid infrastructure. Together, these advancements are set to accelerate India’s journey toward becoming a global leader in clean, intelligent, and scalable mobility solutions.
