Chat on WhatsAppSetting up an EV charging station in Mysuru
Mysuru is one of Karnataka's key EV markets, and public charging is an open, de-licensed business — anyone can set one up. The essentials are the same as anywhere in India: a high-footfall site, a commercial power connection with a separate EV tariff from CESC Mysuru, government-approved chargers, and compliance with the Ministry of Power guidelines. What varies locally is the Karnataka subsidy, the DISCOM connection process and your land/rent. Our full guide to starting a charging station business covers the rules and steps in detail.
