· 130+ live Type-6 DC Fast Chargers now operational across seven Indian states, with 200 more planned in the next 2 months as Ultraviolette scales charging access ahead of its growing rider base.
· Interoperable charging network surpasses initial rollout commitment by over 2X, accelerating India’s electric mobility ecosystem.
· Expanding charging ecosystem integrated across Ultraviolette and Bolt.Earth platforms, enabling a seamless rider experience across the growing Type-6 network.
· Customers benefit from real-time charger discovery, charging session visibility, and integrated digital payment capabilities.
Bengaluru, May 19, 2026: Ultraviolette and Bolt.Earth today announced that the interoperable Type-6 DC fast-charging network launched under their strategic collaboration in March 2026 has crossed 130+ installed chargers across India, achieving more than 2X the initial deployment commitment of 50 chargers ahead of the original rollout timeline. The rollout is being accelerated in response to Ultraviolette’s growing rider base, the rise of India’s electric motorcycle market, and comes as India places renewed focus on energy security, foreign-exchange conservation and cleaner mobility infrastructure amid global crude-supply uncertainty.
The rapidly expanding network is currently operational across Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and West Bengal, significantly strengthening fast-charging accessibility while accelerating the adoption of interoperable EV infrastructure in India.
The accelerated rollout marks a significant milestone in scaling dependable, standardized charging infrastructure purpose-built for India’s advanced electric two-wheelers. The deployment reflects stronger-than-anticipated execution velocity and reinforces the shared commitment of Ultraviolette and Bolt.Earth towards building a seamless, interoperable, and future-ready charging ecosystem for electric mobility. As part of the next phase of expansion, an additional 200 Type-6 DC fast chargers are scheduled to go live over the next two months. All chargers are fully compatible with the Ultraviolette X-47 and F77 motorcycles, enabling seamless access to fast-charging infrastructure across key cities, highways, and emerging EV corridors.
Speaking on the milestone, Niraj Rajmohan, Co-founder & CTO, Ultraviolette, said, “Crossing 130+ Type-6 fast chargers ahead of schedule is in response to Ultraviolette’s expanding rider base and the broader growth of India’s electric two-wheeler market. The expansion also comes at a pivotal moment for India’s mobility sector. Recent crude-linked volatility has reinforced the need for more resilient, electricity-led mobility infrastructure. For electric mobility to scale meaningfully, charging infrastructure must evolve alongside vehicle technology with reliability, accessibility, and interoperability at its core. The rapid expansion of the Type-6 ecosystem marks an important step towards building a standardized and future-ready charging backbone for electric mobility. As adoption continues to accelerate, interoperable fast-charging infrastructure will play a defining role in enhancing rider confidence, enabling long-distance usability, and driving the next phase of EV growth in India.”
The deployment includes both newly installed Type-6 DC fast chargers as well as upgrades to existing Bolt.Earth charging infrastructure to support Ultraviolette motorcycles. The growing Type-6 ecosystem is expected to significantly enhance rider confidence, charging convenience, route flexibility, and long-distance usability for electric vehicle customers across the country.
Speaking on the accelerated rollout, Mohit Yadav, Founder, Bolt.Earth, said, “Crossing 100 chargers within weeks of launch is more than a milestone for us, it reflects both the pace at which India’s EV ecosystem is evolving and our ability to scale interoperable infrastructure rapidly. With a roadmap to deploy 10,000 Type-6 Blaze DC chargers over the next two years, our focus remains on building one of India’s most reliable and accessible public fast-charging networks for electric two-wheelers. As adoption accelerates, scalable charging infrastructure will play a critical role in enabling seamless and dependable electric mobility experiences for riders across the country.”
With interoperable charging infrastructure continuing to expand at scale, Ultraviolette and Bolt.Earth are collectively strengthening the foundation for India’s next phase of electric mobility growth enabling riders with greater confidence, accessibility, and freedom to adopt performance electric vehicles across the country.
