India’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem is gradually touching new heights. It has lately reached a new milestone with the achievement of an IIT Madras-incubated startup. The young company has received Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) certification for its EV chargers. It is basically a recognition of quality as well as innovation. Moreover, the certification marks an important moment for both the startup and EV infrastructure in India as well.
The startup shows how academic institutions can be great places to emerge with innovative technology. It is getting the research support from IIT Madras. It has created EV chargers that have met the tough standards of ARAI certification. The achievement highlights focus on quality and also reflects India’s growing strength in the sector.
The ARAI certification is important as it is an assurance to consumers and businesses about the safety of EV chargers. It is a stamp for safe, reliable and efficient charger. Indian government has been lately pushing for a greener future and has come up with various initiatives like FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles). A reliable charging infrastructure is highly important for the EV industry. Simultaneously, the certification now places the startup in a better position. It can mean more to the country’s EV charging network too.
Apart from this, the ARAI certification is to inspire other startups and incubators to focus on EV infrastructure and identify the opportunities available in the market. Startups in good number are lately entering the EV sector and the competition seems to drive further innovation. However, things will ultimately benefit the end consumers in the country.
