ATGL aims to set up around 15,000 charging stations across the country.
Adani Total Gas Limited (ATGL), a gas distribution company, has forayed into the electric mobility segment by launching its first electric charging station in Ahmedabad. The charging station, located at ATGL’s CNG station at Maninagar in Ahmedabad, is part of the company’s planned 15,000 charging stations across the country.
ATGL also draws its strength from the Adani Group’s inherent capacity to generate renewable power. Adani also has a strong footprint across the country as a retailer of CNG. In October 2019, Total and Adani came together to accelerate CNG retail expansion in India.
The Adani Group had said in 2019 that both partners would make significant investments in the next 10 years to develop India’s gas infrastructure, distribution, marketing businesses with a presence in over 15 states, and reaching out to approximately 7.5 percent of India’s population.
CEO of Adani Total Gas Suresh P Manglani said, “The commencement of EV business by setting up the first charging station in Ahmedabad is yet another milestone for Adani Total Gas to provide a choice of newer green fuel to the larger consumer base in India.”
