By EV Shield Team
Choosing the right franchise means finding a sector with genuine, sustained demand—and a Charge Point Operator (CPO) partner with the capital, technology, and execution capability to scale alongside market growth. Electric vehicle (EV) charging in India delivers on both counts, and EV Shield is the premier partner bringing funding, end-to-end turnkey infrastructure, DISCOM power clearances, and a aggressive national expansion plan to make high-yield charging stations a reality.
EV Shield offers a fully managed franchise framework where all operational complexity is handled for you: hardware procurement, civil engineering, grid sanctioning, brand canopy installation, smart OCPP-compliant Management System (CMS) software, and 24/7 technical maintenance are all included in a single, streamlined package. You bring the capital and land asset; EV Shield delivers the systems that make your station profitable from day one.

Substantial institutional capital and private infrastructure funding are actively powering EV Shield’s highway hyper-charging expansion across India. Capital at this scale is deployed only when institutional investors have absolute confidence in the underlying business model, unit economics, and long-term market trajectory.
This capital is being actively deployed into core electrical infrastructure, high-power grid transformers, liquid-cooled ultra-fast dispensers, and regional field engineering hubs that surround and support every individual franchise station in the EV Shield network.

Unlike isolated franchise categories where you build a business without network synergy, every EV Shield franchise station benefits from our expanding national footprint. As our network grows across state highways, urban centers, and intercity expressways, driver awareness, app downloads, and corporate fleet partnerships compound across every node in the network.
Higher App & Map Visibility: Every new EV Shield station drives additional EV owners to download our central mobile app, directly increasing organic driver traffic to your local charging bays.
Corporate & Fleet Contracts: Intercity logistics fleets, e-commerce delivery networks, and ride-hailing operators utilize our nationwide network under centralized billing agreements, bringing high-volume, pre-scheduled charging sessions to franchise hubs.
Increased Property Real Estate Value: Commercial real estate equipped with an active, high-turnover EV Shield charging hub sees a substantial bump in property valuation and tenant footfall.

Understanding the full financial commitment prevents unexpected delays and ensures clear ROI projections. EV Shield breaks down complete project setup investment into four transparent tiers:
Setup Category | Scope & Included Components | Estimated CapEx Share |
Hardware & Power Electronics | ARAI-certified AC wallboxes or dual-gun CCS2 DC fast chargers (30kW–240kW) | 40% – 50% |
Grid Sanction & DISCOM Work | Utility load sanction fees, metering panel, transformer, and switchgear | 20% – 30% |
Civil Works & Site Branding | Concrete bays, branded illuminated canopy, crash bollards, chemical earthing ($<5\text{ Ohms}$) | 15% – 20% |
CMS Software & Integration | OCPP 1.6J/2.0 cloud software licensing, payment gateway setup, App & Google Maps sync | 5% – 10% |
Setting up commercial EV infrastructure in India requires strict adherence to regulatory guidelines established by the Ministry of Power (MoP) and state distribution utilities (e.g., TANGEDCO, MSEDCL, BESCOM):
No Electricity Distribution License Required: Operating an EV charging station is legally defined as a service, eliminating the need for complex power distribution licenses.
Concessional Industrial EV Tariffs: Power for EV charging is supplied at special concessional rates (₹5.50 – ₹6.50/kWh), enabling high service margins when retailing energy at market rates (₹14.00 – ₹18.00/kWh).
Mandated Connection Timelines: DISCOMs are legally obligated to release power connections within 7 days in metro areas, 15 days in municipal zones, and 30 days in rural locations. EV Shield handles all paperwork and technical liaison work.
1.1. Site Submission & Technical Audit:Property & Grid Feasibility.
Submit your commercial property or parking lot details on the EV Shield portal. Our field engineers conduct a site feasibility survey evaluating vehicle traffic flow, curb cuts, and transformer proximity.
2.2. Agreement & Model Selection:Custom ROI & Contract Options.
Select your preferred operating model (FOFO vs. FOCO), structure custom incentive tiers (including Minimum Guarantee and buyback protections), and receive an itemized ROI blueprint.
3.3. Grid Approval & Civil Construction:DISCOM Liaison & Civil Works.
EV Shield manages all power load applications with local utilities, coordinates dedicated transformer upgrades, constructs protective illuminated canopies, and digs chemical earthing pits ($<5\text{ Ohms}$).
4.4. Hardware Commissioning & Go-Live:Hardware Setup & Network Listing.
We deploy ARAI-certified AC or dual-gun DC fast chargers, sync smart OCPP 1.6J/2.0 CMS software, and list your station live on the EV Shield App, Google Maps, and global navigation portals.
