Fortum gradually withdraws from India
Fortum Oyj earlier announced that it would limit its exposure in India and is evaluating alternatives to its remaining operations in the context of the Ukrainian war.

India’s growing electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Currently, there are approximately 25,202 ev public charging stations (EVPCs), nearly one-fifth of which are or ₹20 million ₹The central government plan was allocated to establish them.
Under the PM Electronic Driving (Innovative Automotive Enhanced Electric Drive Revolution) plan, the government plans to establish 22,100 public charging stations for electric vehicles; stations for 48,400 electric bicycles, scooters and tricycles; stations for 1,800 electric trucks and buses by March 31, 2026.
India announces many plans to promote green liquidity – including ₹PM E-BUS SEWA Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) scheme of Rs 34,353 crore for deployment of 38,000 electric buses; and ₹Advanced Chemical Cell (ACC) Manufacturing and other PLI plans for Rs 181,000 crore.
An economic survey earlier this year said electric liquidity is a major factor in the country’s net worth. It noted: “Rampant emissions from road transport, which account for nearly 75% of the transport sector, will be crucial for India to 2070.”
“From mining to the electric vehicle manufacturing industry, China’s vertical integration across the entire electric vehicle (EV) supply chain allows it to maintain its global advantage in this area,” the survey added.
Experts say all stakeholders should play their role.
“Highways should be built with electric vehicle charging stations every 25 km and must be adapted to the highway costs, which will hardly have any impact on the cost per kilometer of the highway,” said Reji Kumar Pillai, Indian Intelligence of the Energy Transition Think Tank.
“The consortium of electric vehicle manufacturers can also facilitate the establishment of chargers nationwide. In Japan, a portion of the EV is allocated to the funds to build chargers,” Pillai added.
