Capitalize on India's EV boom with an EV Shield franchise. Turnkey fast-charging setups, FOFO/FOCO models, DISCOM approvals & high-ROI site monetization.
By EV Shield Team
India's transition to electric mobility is accelerating faster than industry analysts predicted, leaving a massive supply-demand gap in high-uptime, accessible charging infrastructure across urban centers, commercial real estate complexes, and intercity highways. This infrastructure deficit represents a premier commercial opportunity: partnering with EV Shield to deploy turnkey, high-yield EV charging stations that generate predictable, recurring revenue from day one.
EV Shield provides franchise partners with a complete, enterprise-grade EV charging business that requires zero prior technical background. Hardware procurement, civil-electrical execution, DISCOM power load clearances, OCPP-compliant cloud software, and nationwide maintenance are all managed by EV Shield—allowing you to focus on asset ownership, site expansion, and financial returns.

Under Ministry of Power (MoP) guidelines, public EV charging is legally classified as a service, eliminating the need for electricity resale licenses. Franchise hosts buy power at concessional industrial EV tariffs (~₹5.50 – ₹6.50/kWh) and retail energy at standard service rates (~₹14.00 – ₹18.00/kWh), capturing wide operational service margins.
Building an independent charging station requires navigating multiple contractors, power utilities, hardware vendors, and software systems. EV Shield eliminates vendor friction by consolidating all technical, civil, and regulatory services into a single turnkey partner.
Gross Service Profit = Retail Charging Tariff (₹/kWh) - DISCOM Concessional Rate (₹/kWh) - CMS License Fee

The Indian EV market is at a pivotal early-stage window where prime commercial locations—high-traffic highway frontage, retail shopping malls, hotel parking lots, and logistics corridors—are still available to first movers.
Securing these prime locations today establishes long-term market dominance, turning underutilized parking or land into high-yielding commercial real estate before local competition intensifies.
Setting up a high-uptime EV charging hub requires adhering strictly to central and state engineering standards to ensure safety, equipment longevity, and seamless electrical grid integration:
ARAI-Certified Hardware: Weatherproof IP65 / IK10 enclosures equipped with thermal cutoffs, overcurrent protection, and Type A/B RCBO breakers.
Low Earth Grounding Resistance: Mandatory chemical earthing pits ensuring ground resistance remains strictly below 5 ohm.
OCPP 1.6J / 2.0 Compliance: Open protocol integration connecting charging hardware to the central EV Shield cloud management platform for dynamic load management and automated digital payouts.
Mandated Utility Clearance Timelines: DISCOMs are legally bound to grant dedicated EV power lines within 7 days in metro areas, 15 days in municipal limits, and 30 days in rural zones.
