UltraViolet and Bolt.Earth have expanded their Type-6 DC fast-charging network across India, with over 130 chargers installed – more than double the initial target of 50 units announced during the launch of their partnership in March 2026. The companies also plan to add another 200 chargers in the next two months as part of their efforts to strengthen fast-charging infrastructure for electric two-wheelers.
The charging network is currently operational in seven Indian states – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana and West Bengal – covering major cities, highway routes and emerging EV adoption areas. The chargers are compatible with UltraViolet’s UltraViolet F77 and X-47 motorcycle platforms and can be accessed through both the UltraViolet and Bolt.Earth applications. Features include real-time charger detection, charging session monitoring and integrated digital payment system.
The companies have adopted an interoperable charging model, allowing riders to access the network through any platform without relying on separate charging ecosystems. This approach aims to address one of the key challenges in India’s EV infrastructure landscape – fragmented charging standards and platforms that often create inconvenience for EV users.
The expansion comes as India’s electric two-wheeler market is growing rapidly, supported by increased EV adoption and increased policy focus on reducing dependence on imported crude oil. Commenting on the development, Neeraj Rajmohan said the charging infrastructure rollout is in line with the broader national need for flexible electricity-led mobility solutions amid global crude oil price volatility.
The deployment includes both newly installed chargers and upgrades to existing Bolt.Earth charging points to support Ultraviolette motorcycles. According to Mohit Yadav, the company aims to deploy 10,000 Type-6 DC fast chargers over the next two years, creating one of India’s largest dedicated fast-charging networks for electric two-wheelers.
Unlike conventional AC chargers, which typically require several hours to charge electric two-wheelers, the Type-6 DC fast-charging standard significantly reduces charging time, helping to address range and charging access concerns for riders traveling long distances.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Bengaluru, UltraViolet is backed by investors including TVS Motor Company, Qualcomm Ventures, TDK Ventures and Zoho Corporation. The company also became the first Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer to receive European certification and currently exports motorcycles to 12 countries in Europe, including Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Founded in 2017, Bolt.Earth currently operates over 100,000 chargers across 2,000 Indian cities, supporting electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers and four-wheelers through its open charging network model.
