Mahindra has made a significant leadership change in its electric vehicle charging business at a time when the company is rapidly scaling up its EV ambitions in India. Kedar Apte, who was heading Mahindra’s EV charging vertical, has exited the company, paving the way for Anoop Kachhara to take over the role and lead the next phase of growth in charging infrastructure.
Kedar Apte played an important role in shaping Mahindra’s early EV charging strategy. During his tenure, the focus was on building a structured approach to both public and private charging solutions, ensuring customers had access to reliable charging options as Mahindra prepared to launch and expand its electric vehicle portfolio. His exit marks the end of a crucial phase where the foundation for charging operations was laid within Mahindra & Mahindra.
Following Apte’s departure, Anoop Kachhara has been appointed as the new head of the EV charging business. Kachhara steps into the role with strong internal experience, having previously worked in Mahindra’s group strategy office. Over recent months, he has also been closely involved with the automotive business, contributing to planning and execution related to public EV charging infrastructure. This background positions him well to take charge of both home charging solutions and large scale public charging initiatives.
The leadership transition comes at a critical moment for Mahindra as it prepares to support a growing lineup of electric vehicles with a dependable charging ecosystem. The company has been working on expanding access to charging points through partnerships, digital platforms, and dedicated infrastructure projects. With Anoop Kachhara now at the helm, the focus is expected to shift toward faster execution, wider coverage, and a more seamless charging experience for EV customers.
Industry observers see this move as part of Mahindra’s broader effort to strengthen its electric mobility strategy beyond just vehicle launches. Charging infrastructure is a key pillar of EV adoption, and stable leadership in this area will be essential as competition intensifies in the Indian EV market.
