From Grid to Road: 4 Companies Building the Future of Energy & Mobility in India

India is undergoing a transformational shift in how it generates, distributes, and consumes energy. As the world’s third-largest energy consumer, the country’s power demand is projected to double by 2040, driven by rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and a surge in electrified mobility. In response, the government has launched a series of ambitious policies, from the National Electric Mobility Mission and FAME II to PM-KUSUM, to accelerate clean energy adoption across transport, residential, and agricultural sectors.

As of March 2025, India’s installed renewable energy capacity has reached 220.10 GW, up from 198.75 GW the previous year. Simultaneously, over 4.4 million EVs have been registered as of August 2024, reflecting a growing shift toward low-carbon transport.

Yet, scaling clean energy isn’t just about generation; it’s about seamlessly linking production, storage, and usage. Bridging this gap is a new generation of Indian companies reimagining the energy ecosystem, on the road, in homes, and across cities. From smarter batteries to interoperable charging and P2P energy exchange, here are five Indian companies making the grid-to-road transition a reality:

1.Kazam: India’s Interoperable EV Charging Backbone

Kazam operates one of India’s most expansive EV charging platforms, with over 68,000 charge points in 80+ cities. Its interoperable system enables charging for two-, three-, and four-wheelers and buses, with features like scan-to-charge access, smart billing, and real-time fleet monitoring.

The platform has processed over 5 million charging sessions, powering 300 million+ clean kilometers. Kazam supports partners like BigBasket, Zypp Electric, and Mahindra Logistics, and is digitising public bus depots across cities.

A standout initiative is Kazam’s Peer-to-Peer Energy Exchange, which allows EV users to share clean power locally, a game-changer for decentralised energy access.

2.Trontek: Energising India’s E-Mobility Backbone

With over 500,000 EVs already powered across India, Trontek has become a trusted name in lithium-ion battery innovation. Its Li-EV battery series, designed for Indian conditions, powers e-rickshaws, two-wheelers, and fleet vehicles with AIS-156 compliance, IP67-rated chargers, and advanced BMS technology that ensure safety, durability, and a long lifecycle.

What sets Trontek apart is its robust after-sales support, with 160+ service professionals and a strong R&D backbone. The brand’s batteries also power telecom, solar, and grid-scale storage, making Trontek a full-spectrum clean energy solutions provider.

3.Pointo: Reimagining Batteries Through Circular Innovation

Pointo is pioneering India’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model with a focus on affordability, accessibility, and battery lifecycle management. The company serves thousands of EV users across Patna, Jaipur, West Bengal, and beyond, reaching underserved markets with agile, tech-led distribution. At the core of Pointo’s platform is its proprietary “DNA” tracking system, which enables complete traceability and intelligent redeployment of batteries across first, second, and third lives. These batteries power e-rickshaws, 2-wheelers, and even grid-connected storage units.

Pointo also offers 15-minute financing, flexible leases, and predictive maintenance, lowering ownership barriers for gig workers and fleet operators. With AI-based diagnostics, remote immobilisation, and a strong circular economy approach, Pointo is redefining how batteries are used, reused, and monetised, supporting not just clean mobility but India’s broader push for energy decentralisation and battery self-reliance.

4.Luminous: A Trusted Name in Power Backup

Luminous remains one of India’s most recognized power backup brands. It’s Zelio+, Icon, and Eco Volt inverters deliver pure sine wave output, ideal for sensitive electronics, along with LED/LCD displays and efficient charging systems.

Its tubular batteries offer long-lasting backup, especially in power-deficit regions. The Icon Series combines high performance with sleek design, perfect for modern interiors. With a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and user-friendly features, Luminous continues to be a dependable choice for homes and offices alike.

As India marches toward its net-zero by 2070 commitment, the convergence of clean generation, efficient storage, and smart mobility will be mission-critical. Companies like Trontek, Livguard, Kazam, Pointo, and Tata Power aren’t just powering vehicles or homes; they’re enabling energy independence, affordability, and resilience. With the right policy push and tech innovation, India is poised to lead the world in building a secure, decentralised, and clean energy ecosystem, from the grid to the road.
