Driving an electric car from Delhi to Mumbai is no longer a far-fetched idea. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is being built as a roughly 1,350 km, 8-lane access-controlled corridor, and fast chargers are starting to appear along it. The big question every EV owner asks is simple: where will I charge on the way?
This guide explains where charging stations are on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, how to plan your stops, and how to avoid running low on battery. You can also use the SpeedCharge station finder below to check chargers on your route.
Find EV Charging Stations on Your Route
Use the SpeedCharge locator to see chargers near the expressway and along the route. Choose a city or section, and check charger type and location before you start.

Quick Answer: Are There EV Charging Stations on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway?
Yes. Charging stations are available on parts of the expressway, and the network is growing. In May 2026, Tata Power EV Charging Solutions announced ultra-fast charging stations at Indian Oil wayside amenities on the Haryana stretch, at the 63rd and 69th milestones. The 63rd milestone station is a 240 kW unit with four charging guns for vehicles travelling from Delhi. Statiq also lists a 24-hour public station at a Haldiram stop on the expressway.
Because new stations open often, always confirm live availability in the charging app or on our station finder before you leave.
Delhi-Mumbai Expressway Status: What Is Open Right Now?
The expressway is opening in phases, so your EV plan depends on which sections are ready.
Delhi to Dausa: The Gurugram to Dausa stretch is already open to traffic.
Dausa to Vadodara: Most sections are either operational or close to completion. The Godhra to Vadodara section opened for trial runs in April 2026, and the Limkheda to Godhra section was officially opened in October 2026.
Delhi to Vadodara overall: NHAI officials have said the route is likely to be fully operational up to Vadodara by December 2026.
Vadodara to Mumbai: This part is in the final stage of construction and is expected to open in phases.
Timelines have shifted several times in the past, so treat dates as estimates and check the latest NHAI or news update before a long trip. Where a section is not yet open, you will use the connecting national highway, and charging options there will be different.
EV Charging Stations on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway: Section-wise Overview
Section | What to expect for EV charging |
|---|---|
Delhi to Haryana stretch | Ultra-fast Tata Power chargers at Indian Oil wayside amenities (63rd and 69th milestones), 240 kW class |
Haryana to Jaipur/Dausa side | Mix of expressway wayside stations and nearby highway chargers. Check the locator for exact points |
Rajasthan (Kota and Chittorgarh side) | Fewer chargers, so longer gaps. Plan your charge carefully before entering this section |
Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat border | Limited charging. Use the locator and keep a buffer in your battery |
Gujarat (Vadodara, Surat side) | More city and highway chargers near major towns |
Maharashtra and Mumbai | Dense charging network in and around Mumbai |
This table shows the general pattern, not an exact list. Charger counts change fast, so the live station finder is the most reliable source for current stations.
Route Plan: Delhi to Mumbai by EV
The stretch from Delhi to Mumbai is long, so think of it as five legs instead of one big trip.
Leg 1: Delhi to Jaipur Side
Start with a full charge from home or a Delhi charger. The Haryana stretch has ultra-fast chargers at the 63rd and 69th milestones, which makes it a good first top-up if you are not at 100%.
Leg 2: Jaipur Side to Kota
Charging gaps can get longer in Rajasthan. Reach this leg with enough battery, and look up your next charger before you leave the previous one.
Leg 3: Kota to the Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat Border
This is the section where careful planning matters most. Keep at least a 15-20% buffer when you reach each stop.
Leg 4: Gujarat Border to Vadodara and Surat
Charging improves as you approach larger cities. Use this leg for a longer charge if your car needs it for the final stretch.
Leg 5: Surat to Mumbai
Mumbai and the surrounding region have a stronger charging network. Check the section status, since the Vadodara to Mumbai part is opening in phases.
How Many Charging Stops Will You Need?
The number of stops depends on your car's real highway range, not the claimed range. A simple way to estimate:
Take your car's real-world highway range at 90 to 100 km/h.
Multiply it by about 0.6 to 0.7. That is the distance you can safely cover between charges when you charge from roughly 10% to 80% and keep a buffer.
Divide the total distance by that number.
Example (illustrative): If your car gives 250 km of real highway range, the safe distance per charge is about 150 to 175 km. For about 1,350 km, that means roughly 8 to 9 charging stops. A longer-range car needs fewer stops.
This is only an estimate. Speed, load, AC use and weather all change the number.
Cost of Charging on a Delhi-Mumbai EV Trip
DC fast charging is priced per kWh, and the rate differs between operators. To estimate your cost:
Total cost = units (kWh) you charge x price per kWh
Check the rate on the operator's app before you plug in. Compare this with the fuel cost of a petrol or diesel car for the same distance to see your saving.
10 Tips for an EV Road Trip from Delhi to Mumbai
Plan the route before you leave. Mark primary and backup chargers for every leg.
Charge to 80% at fast chargers. The last 20% takes much longer.
Never arrive at a charger on single-digit battery. Keep a buffer.
Install multiple charging apps. Speedcharge, Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone and others, with wallet balance ready.
Check live charger status. A charger can be offline or occupied.
Drive at a steady speed. Very high speed drains the battery faster.
Charge while you eat or rest. Pick stops with food and washrooms.
Carry a portable charging cable and adapter if your car supports one.
Check tyre pressure. It affects range.
Note a backup station within reach of every planned stop.
Is Roadside Help Available for EVs on the Expressway?
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has been considering EV rescue hubs and EV-focused amenities on expressways, starting with the Delhi-Mumbai corridor. Until this becomes common, keep your roadside assistance number handy and prefer routes where charger gaps are short.
