Recently, to provide an end-to-end ecosystem for EV chargers, Statiq teamed up with Hero Electric and collaborated with another EV maker Ather, to enhance the combined EV charging network in northern Indian states.

As per Raghav Arora, co-founder and CTO of Statiq, through this funding round, the startup will be able to tap into a wealth of operational excellence. It will help Statiq accelerate working towards quality, safety, and environmental standards that are second to none by closely cooperating with Shell group experts, Raghav added. 

Over the years, the Indian Electric Vehicle market has grown leaps and bounds. Though EV sales accounted for barely 1.3% of total vehicle sales in India during 20-2021, the present growth trends seem promising, and RBSA expects it to grow at a CAGR of 90% in this decade to touch $150 billion by 2030.

This year, several EV startups, including Bangalore-based EV manufacturer Altigreen and electric commercial vehicle startup EVage, raised funds.
