RoadGrid, an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure technology company, has already made the pre-series A funding round successful. The new funds will support the aggressive strategies of the company to diversify the charging grid solutions and join the viability gap funding (VGF) tenders to scale the energy storage in India.
Strategic Focus
RoadGrid has found itself in the middle of clean mobility and progressive energy systems established on a vision of facilitating a hassle-free EV adoption. The emphasis of the company on grid-forming proposals is an indication of the change to smarter charging networks, which not only charge vehicles but also stabilize local electricity grids. Through the adoption of storage solutions, RoadGrid will offer the solution to peak load stress and provide reliability to consumers and the utilities.
By tender bidding VGF, RoadGrid is likely to have some governmental support to fill the financial gaps within large-scale infrastructure projects. They are among a series of such tenders in India, which are part of an overall effort to expedite the implementation of EVs and are encouraging private actors to invest in developing charging and storage infrastructure, which would otherwise be unprofitable in the short run.
Industry Context
The EV market in India is currently experiencing phenomenal growth in 2026 due to the presence of government incentives, tightening of emission regulations, and increasing demands by consumers to be able to move sustainably.
The Ministry of Heavy Industries has established high targets of nationwide coverage of charging points, where the focus is on high-capacity stations along the highways and city groups. The technology-oriented solution provided by RoadGrid is aligned with such priorities, which compiles renewable energy and storage, presented at a scaling level.
According to analysts, the pre-series A funding round occurs at a critical point of junction. As the cost of batteries has leveled and charging has become the new bottleneck, such companies as RoadGrid have an opportunity to shape the future of the EV ecosystem in India.
Grid-forming chargers are not only about faster charging; they are also about the establishment of robust energy networks, said an industry expert.
Future Outlook
The initial group of advanced charging hubs that RoadGrid intends to roll out will be launched in mid-2026, and the intended consumers will be major cities and major highways. The business is also considering collaborations with the fleet operators and renewable energy developers to be used to its full extent.
With India poised to meet its goal of electrifying much of its transport industry in 2030, and with the funding of Roadgrid, the milestone is an indicator that the investors have confidence in the sector of EV infrastructure.
RoadGrid can emerge as a major facilitator of the clean mobility revolution in India with its focus on innovation and state-supported tenders.
