charging solution provider for EKA’s 9-meter buses, to set up ARAI & OCPP
certified stations of 30kW, 60kW, and 120kW for the institutional customers

EKA, we've been striving to set up a robust, efficient & reliable EV
ecosystem to achieve India’s aspirational net-zero emissions goal. Our
collaboration with goEgoNetwork, one of India’s leading charging infrastructure
providers, ensures a fast-charging network for institutional customers of our
9-meter e-buses across the nation. We look forward to bringing sustainable,
profitable, and efficient EV solutions to accelerate the mass adoption of
new-energy vehicles in India, and we are elated to have joined hands with
goEgoNetwork to ensure the fast charging of our 9-meter e-buses. We firmly
believe that building a more accessible electric vehicle charging
infrastructure will drive the rapid transformation of electrifying public

goEgoNetwork, said, "It excites us
a lot at goEgoNetwork about our recent partnership with EKA Mobility.
While our passenger EV charging network has been growing quickly with our
presence in housing societies, public car parks, educational institutes,
charging parks, hospitals, and many more, our recent tie-up with EKA Mobility
is a testimony to the fact that our charging solutions are universal and can be
used by all types and sizes of EVs currently available in the market. As
omnipresent and compliant charging ecosystems lack across the country, our
partnership with EKA Mobility will guarantee EKA Mobility’s customers a
seamless charging ecosystem for their e-buses across India."
