Battery swap stations

South Central Railways has partnered with Indofast Energy — a joint venture between Indian Oil and SUN Mobility — to deploy a network of battery swapping stations across key railway hubs in the Hyderabad and Secunderabad divisions. Eighty battery swap stations have already been installed across 25 railway stations with plans to add 40 more stations in the next three months. These can support electric two and three-wheelers, helping ease last-mile connectivity for commuters, delivery partners and ride-sharing operators. The initiative aligns with the Railway Board’s policy to encourage e-mobility at railway stations.
