The 4,000 km charging corridor represents India’s most ambitious luxury EV infrastructure project.

This achievement aligns perfectly with India’s ambitious EV vision. The Government of India has set a target to electrify 70% of all commercial vehicles, 30% of private cars, 40% of buses, and 80% of two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales by 2030, while the central government has announced a number of promotional measures in the previous ten years, including tax incentives for electric vehicle owners, public EV charging infrastructure development.
The Ministry of Power’s EV charging guidelines and NITI Aayog’s comprehensive policy framework create favorable conditions for BMW’s infrastructure investments.

The BMW iX1 long wheelbase leads in sales, closely followed by the flagship model, the BMW i7. The company’s comprehensive approach includes the industry-first BMW Charging Concierge service and access to over 6,000 charging points across the country through the MyBMW app.
