India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is entering a period of rapid growth. New vehicle launches, policy incentives, and improving battery technology have accelerated adoption across both passenger and commercial segments. However, one challenge continues to influence consumer confidence and large-scale deployment: the availability of reliable charging infrastructure.
While EV sales continue to rise, charging networks have expanded at a slower pace. Much of the market continues to rely on imported charging equipment, creating opportunities for Indian manufacturers capable of developing products designed specifically for local operating conditions, service requirements, and grid environments.
Among the companies working to address this challenge is Electrodot, an EV charging technology brand developed by Swastik Enterprises. Led by Chief Technology Officer Ritik Saini, the company builds upon nearly three decades of electronics manufacturing experience established by its parent organization, which has been operating since 1996.
Over the years, Swastik Enterprises has manufactured a wide range of electronic products, developing expertise in electronics design, manufacturing processes, quality systems, and supply chain management. As demand for EV infrastructure began to grow, the company expanded into electric mobility by establishing Electrodot as its dedicated charging solutions division, leveraging its existing engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
Inspiration from a Mature EV Ecosystem
The idea behind Electrodot was shaped during Ritik Saini’s Master’s programme in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Loughborough University in London. During his time in the UK, he observed how EV adoption was supported not only by vehicle availability but also by integrated charging infrastructure.
Smart charging systems, remote diagnostics, fleet management platforms, and interconnected public charging networks operated as part of a unified ecosystem rather than as standalone products.
“India needed charging solutions that could be designed, manufactured, and supported locally,” says Saini. “With Swastik’s manufacturing experience already in place, we believed we could develop products suited to Indian conditions while incorporating global technology standards.”
Building an Integrated Charging Ecosystem
To support this vision, Electrodot established dedicated manufacturing facilities for both AC and DC charging solutions. The company’s DC fast charger manufacturing facility is located in Goa, while AC charger production is based in New Delhi.
Its product portfolio includes portable and wall-mounted AC chargers ranging from 3.3 kW to 22 kW for residential and commercial applications. For public charging stations, fleet operators, and commercial deployments, the company manufactures ARAI-certified DC fast chargers beginning at 30 kW and extending to 240 kW and 360 kW dual-gun systems with dynamic load balancing.
Recognizing that charging infrastructure increasingly depends on software as much as hardware, Electrodot has also developed its own OCPP 1.6J-compliant Central Management System (CMS). The platform enables remote charger monitoring, RFID management, app-less charging, digital payment features, remote diagnostics, and centralized network management, allowing operators to monitor and manage charging infrastructure from a single interface.
Recognition Through Government Collaboration
The company’s approach recently received an important milestone when Swastik Enterprises was empanelled by Central Electronics Limited (CEL), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Science & Technology.
Selected through a Global Expression of Interest process, the empanelment enables collaboration in Joint R&D, Co-Production, and System Integration for business development in both Indian and international markets. The partnership reflects growing collaboration between public sector organizations and domestic technology companies working in emerging infrastructure sectors.
Leadership and Industry Experience
Electrodot’s leadership combines manufacturing experience with engineering and product development. Ritik Saini leads technology and product innovation, while Director Bhupesh Saini brings more than 25 years of manufacturing experience to the organization, overseeing production quality and operational execution. Marketing consultant Mr. Shekhar Asthana supports the company’s business development and industry outreach initiatives.
Looking Ahead
As India’s transition toward electric mobility continues, charging infrastructure will remain a critical component of the broader ecosystem. Companies capable of combining domestic manufacturing, software integration, and scalable charging technology are expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting this transition.
Drawing on a manufacturing legacy spanning nearly three decades, Electrodot represents one example of how established Indian electronics companies are adapting their capabilities to meet the evolving requirements of the country’s EV ecosystem.
