NMDC, a Navaratna PSU renowned for its commitment to sustainable mining practices, has partnered with ThunderPlus to install the new fast-charging facility at its corporate office premises.

Convenience for EV users

The charging station offers electric vehicle users an efficient and reliable charging experience. With the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure in India, this facility plays a vital role in promoting clean mobility and reducing carbon emissions, the company said.

The fast-charging station will cater to both private and commercial EV users.

The station was officially opened by B Mohan Kumar, executive director at NMDC, who was joined by other dignitaries at the event. Kumar praised the swift development of the facility, acknowledging ThunderPlus’ dedication in creating a fully operational charging station with comprehensive Charging Point Operator (CPO) support.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward in advancing sustainable mobility and ensuring a greener future for all. This is just the beginning of many more such facilities to be established at our other locations, thus reinforcing our commitment to responsible mining and transportation,” Kumar stated.
