Indus Towers said that it has made the decision to enter the electric vehicle (EV) charging market.
“Indus Towers Limited, India’s leading telecom tower infrastructure provider, has decided to pursue suitable business opportunities in the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure sector and received the approval of its Board of Directors for the same subject to prudential framework,” the company said in a stock exchange filing, in line with the Government of India’s emphasis on EV adoption and infrastructure augmentation.
