Mumbai, the city that never sleeps, is now electrifying its daily commute—literally. On World Environment Day 2025, Mumbai Metro launched India’s largest network of e-swap battery stations for electric two- and three-wheelers. The new facilities offer lightning-fast battery swaps, propelling the city toward a greener future.
How Does Mumbai’s E-Swap System Work?
Imagine never worrying about your EV running out of charge in traffic again. With the fresh e-swap stations, riders simply roll in, swap their drained Mobile Power Pack e-battery for a fully charged one, and head out in less than two minutes. The process is designed for maximum efficiency and is set to revolutionize last-mile mobility for urban commuters, delivery agents, and transport fleets.
Key E-Swap Locations
Metro users can access battery swapping at 25 Mumbai Metro and 6 Monorail stations, including high-traffic zones like Gundavali, Andheri West, Dahisar East, Chembur, and Wadala. The first centre is already live at Dahisar East Metro Station.
Why Is This a Big Deal for Mumbai’s Green Revolution?
The city’s move is more than just about convenience. By working with Honda Power Pack Energy India, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) ensures each installation strictly follows safety, technical, and environmental norms.
Expect less pollution, fewer carbon emissions, and a significant step forward towards climate resilience. The initiative also generates around ₹30 lakh in non-fare revenue, supporting both eco-goals and financial sustainability.
