The charging stations at R CITY mall, located in the central Mumbai suburb of Ghatkopar on LBS Road, will offer green mobility solutions for both four- and two-wheeled passenger vehicles. The association is a step towards making sustainable mobility choices available to all and boosting EV adoption in the state. This aligns with Tata Power’s goal of making EV charging simple and hassle-free by setting up charging points at strategic locations that are visited regularly by customers.
