India is entering a historic phase of expansive growth across infrastructure, mobility, clean energy, and electric transportation. For UK infrastructure and mobility companies, especially those specialised in EV mobility this is a rare window of opportunity. Strong demand reduced trade friction, and newly strengthened UK–India bilateral cooperation make this the right time to engage deeply with the Indian market.
India’s Infrastructure & Mobility Market: 2025 Outlook
India’s infrastructure transformation is accelerating at a pace unmatched globally.
- As public EV adoption accelerates, demand for charging infrastructure is rising sharply: recent industry reports estimate that by 2030 India may require up to 1.32 million public charging stations to support a projected surge in EVs.
- In major metropolitan areas, including high-growth cities — EV policy, urban planning, and public mobility demands (fleet electrification, e-buses, shared mobility) are placing pressure on existing public and private transport infrastructure.
- India’s push for large-scale renewables (driven by a national clean-energy roadmap) complements EV infrastructure expansion, opening spaces for grid modernisation, renewable-energy integration, energy storage, and sustainable mobility solutions.
- Battery Storage: India’s projected battery‑storage potential across EVs, stationary storage and consumer electronics could reach ~ 600 GWh by 2030
Together, these trends point to a structural shift: demand for EV-mobility infrastructure and related services is rising faster than ever, while regulatory and renewable-energy tailwinds are aligning to support long-term growth.
India–UK Trade Momentum & Policy Shifts Fuel Growth
Recent policy developments in 2024–2025 are smoothing the path for UK companies looking to enter India’s mobility and infrastructure space:
- Reduced tariffs on EV-mobility components and imports.
- Faster regulatory and approval pathways for infrastructure investments
- Greater scope for UK participation in public procurement and PPP (public–private partnership) tenders
- Government incentives for clean-transport and renewable-energy integration
These structural shifts are creating a more predictable, business-friendly environment for foreign firms, and a strong platform for UK-origin mobility players to scale.
Recent UK–India EV Mobility Deals & Strategic Investments
UK organisations, funds, and infrastructure firms are already playing a role in shaping India’s EV mobility evolution.
- British International Investment (BII) invested USD 33.5 M in 2024 into India’s EV ecosystem — supporting fleets, battery-swapping networks, and charging infrastructure for shared/commercial mobility. Backed by BII
- Charge Zone is aiming to build a network of 10,000+ charging stations by 2027, focusing on renewable-powered, high-uptime public charging hubs.
- Everest Fleet is expanding its electric-vehicle fleet, adding over 1,300 new EVs to strengthen ride-hailing and shared-mobility services across major Indian cities.
- TI Clean Mobility is scaling up low-carbon vehicle manufacturing, using fresh equity investment to accelerate production of electric three-wheelers and small commercial EVs.
- In parallel, interest from state utilities — such as CESC (West Bengal) — has risen, with ongoing talks (as of 2025) with UK-based EV and battery-technology firms to collaborate on charging infrastructure and battery storage innovation.
This demonstrates not only private-sector momentum but also growing local institutional acceptance for UK-origin mobility and infrastructure solutions with global standards.
Clean Energy, Grid & Infrastructure Modernisation — The Enabling Backbone
Beyond vehicles and chargers, India’s infrastructure transformation is expanding to energy, grid, and renewables — enabling EV mobility to scale sustainably.
- Cooperation between India and the UK now spans offshore wind, solar manufacturing, smart-grid development, and green-hydrogen corridors.
- This convergence of clean energy and mobility needs opens opportunities for UK firms to contribute integrated solutions: renewable-powered chargers, storage-backed grid-EV integration, and sustainable urban mobility frameworks.
Rather than a separate theme, this clean-energy push is a critical enabler of long-term EV mobility infrastructure and sustainable urban transportation, making it deeply relevant for mobility-focused firms.
Key Opportunity and Impact Areas for UK companies
- EV Charging Infrastructure & Public Charging Networks: With demand projections pointing to 1.3M+ chargers by 2030, there is massive scope for UK firms to deploy high-capacity, renewable-powered charger networks, especially DC fast charging, highway corridor chargers, and chargers for commercial fleets.
- Smart Mobility & Urban Transit Ecosystems: Rapid urbanisation, growing fleet electrification (e-buses, ride-share, logistics), and “smart city” ambitions create demand for:
-
- Smart traffic and fleet-management systems
- Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms
- EV-friendly parking with charging integration
- Low-emission & congestion-controlled zones
Cities with large populations and especially those already emphasising clean mobility are likely to show highest demand growth.
- Grid Modernization, Renewable Integration & Energy Storage
Achieving sustainable EV mobility at scale will require clean power + storage + smart grid integration. UK firms with expertise in renewables, battery storage, load-management, and grid-optimisation could play a defining role. - Transport & Logistics Infrastructure Modernization
As India invests heavily in metro-rail, highways, airports, freight corridors and multi-modal transport hubs, there is opportunity for integrated infrastructure planning: seamless passenger & freight mobility, EV-ready urban transport infrastructure, charging-ready logistics hubs.
India’s fast-growing EV mobility and infrastructure landscape offers a major opportunity for UK companies to expand, innovate, and lead. With increasing investment, supportive policies, and rising demand for clean transport solutions, the moment is right for collaboration. By combining UK expertise with India’s momentum, businesses can unlock meaningful growth and play a key role in shaping the country’s sustainable mobility future.
