Relux Electric powers India's EV Future

Relux Electric is one of India's leading EV charging infrastructure companies, providing end-to-end charging solutions for both public and private sectors since 2012. Operating across Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Telangana, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, the company offers charging infrastructure for homes, commercial establishments, corporates and public charging networks in line with Government of India guidelines.

As part of its expansion strategy, Relux has partnered with the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) to establish 500 EV charging stations across the state. It is also setting up 25 public charging stations at key locations in Chennai to strengthen the city's charging infrastructure and support wider EV adoption.

Relux's franchise-led model enables individuals and businesses to establish EV charging stations with a 100% investment guarantee, making EV infrastructure development both scalable and commercially viable. Led by Dr. Karthikeyan Santharam, Managing Director & CEO, the company is focused on making EV charging economical, accessible and reliable while promoting the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

The company is targeting revenue of INR 50 crore in FY27, more than doubling its current turnover of INR 22.5 crore through a non-dilutive, revenue-sharing funding model. Its growth plans include expanding beyond South India and commissioning 20 new hyper-charging stations on highways over the next eight months, reinforcing its commitment to building a robust EV charging network across the country.
