Delhi’s EV charging landscape just received a powerful upgrade. Hyundai initiated 120 kW DC fast-charging stations across key locations in New Delhi, promising quicker charging and greater convenience for electric vehicle users. Announced on World EV Day 2026, the initiative also brings a limited-period free-charging offer for eligible Hyundai EV owners.
With thousands of charging points accessible through the myHyundai app and an ambitious plan to expand its nationwide fast-charging network, Hyundai is building more than EVs—it is creating a complete ownership ecosystem. Here’s how this development could accelerate electric mobility in Delhi and beyond.
Free EV Charging From September 9–11
To mark World EV Day, Hyundai is offering complimentary charging to Hyundai EV owners from September 9 to September 11, 2026. Customers must find and book a compatible HMIL-owned public charging station through the myHyundai app to claim the benefit.
The special initiative makes the newly inaugurated Hyundai 120 kW DC fast-charging stations particularly relevant for owners looking for quicker and more convenient public charging in the National Capital Region.
Hyundai’s Public Charging Network Is Expanding
HMIL currently operates 185 DC fast-charging stations across 105 cities in India. These facilities offer charging capacities ranging from 60 kW to 240 kW, supporting different electric vehicles and charging requirements.
The company plans to expand its proprietary network to 600 charging stations by 2030. The upcoming facilities will be installed across important cities, national highways, and Hyundai dealerships to make intercity and urban EV travel more convenient.
Through partnerships with multiple charge-point operators, Hyundai also provides access to more than 38,000 charging points through the myHyundai app. The platform is available to EV owners across brands and supports:
- Charging-station discovery
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Advance slot booking
- Digital payments
By bringing these functions into one digital platform, Hyundai aims to simplify the public charging experience for a much wider group of electric vehicle users.
Sales Teams Being Prepared for New EVs
Hyundai believes charging infrastructure alone will not accelerate electric vehicle adoption. Customers also need trained dealership teams that can clearly explain EV technology, charging requirements, driving capabilities, ownership costs, and maintenance considerations.
HMIL has trained more than 10,000 sales personnel so far. The company plans to train over 7,000 additional sales employees by the end of FY2026-27, taking its total number of EV-trained sales personnel beyond 17,000.
The company also intends to expand its EV-ready sales network to 820 touchpoints by the end of FY2026-27. This wider footprint should help customers receive informed assistance while evaluating and purchasing Hyundai electric vehicles.
More Than 2,600 Service Personnel Already Trained
HMIL currently has more than 2,600 trained dealership personnel supporting EV maintenance and repair functions. It aims to train over 5,000 additional service professionals by the end of FY2026-27, including technicians, service advisers, service managers, and other dealership employees involved in the EV ownership journey.
Hyundai has already delivered approximately 16,000 person-days of EV service training. It has also invested around ₹2 crore to make its training centers EV-ready.
The company’s certification-based and model-specific programs cover critical areas such as
- High-voltage system safety
- Electric vehicle diagnostics
- Traction-battery handling
- Specialized repair procedures
- Safe workshop practices
EV-ready Hyundai workshops are equipped with personal protective equipment kits, insulated tools, charging equipment, battery-handling trolleys, and relevant special service tools. HMIL plans to increase its network to 650 EV-ready workshops by the end of FY2026-27.
IONIQ 5, CRETA Electric, and a Localized SUV Planned
Hyundai’s current Indian electric vehicle portfolio comprises the IONIQ 5 in the premium segment and the CRETA Electric in the mass-market SUV category. The company is also preparing to introduce another dedicated, locally produced electric SUV.
This upcoming model could help Hyundai reach a broader group of Indian buyers by combining local production with a growing charging, sales, and service ecosystem.
Why This Development Matters
The inauguration of Hyundai 120 kW DC fast-charging stations addresses one of the most important concerns affecting EV adoption: dependable access to fast public charging.
Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of HMIL, said the company’s electric-mobility strategy extends beyond launching new vehicles. Hyundai wants to support customers throughout the ownership journey—from discovering and purchasing an EV to charging, maintenance, and long-term use.
By combining Hyundai 120 kW DC fast-charging stations, app-based charging access, trained dealership teams, and specialized service infrastructure, HMIL is working to make electric mobility more convenient and dependable.
The growing network of Hyundai 120 kW DC fast-charging stations could also support the broader EV community, improve charging availability in major urban centers, and contribute to India’s transition towards cleaner transportation.
