It serves as the unified representative body for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and adjacent EV ecosystem stakeholders in India, including EV OEMs, battery product and service companies, and EV infrastructure technology providers (ITES, AI/IoT, analytics). The society's stated mission is to ease the operating environment for CPOs by amplifying operator voices into national and state-level policy deliberations, shaping policy frameworks, and facilitating stakeholder coordination with government bodies including NITI Aayog, MSME, and various state agencies. CPOS has contributed to NEMMP-2020 and FAME II policy development and is actively engaged in India's EV Charging Infrastructure Policy 2025.

CPOS India does not disclose any proprietary technology platform. Its offerings are structured as a services-and-membership suite, including Business Growth & Investment support, a Knowledge & Information Hub, Awareness & Industry Support, Policy & Regulatory Advocacy, EV & Battery Safety and Security, Industry Insights & Research, Guidelines Development, and Networking Services. The primary commercial offering consists of two annual subscription membership tiers — Board Membership (leadership tier with strategic influence, committee participation, and industry representation) and General Membership (standard tier with networking, policy access, technical support, and data/analytics). Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: the society recruits members through a structured 4-step enrollment process, conducts direct outreach to enterprises, and maintains a heavy presence at industry conferences such as India Energy Week 2026, Climate Financing Summit 2026, World Utilities Congress 2026, and Bharat Electricity Summit 2026.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Alliance for Automotive Innovation: US-based automotive innovation alliance covering EVs, charging infrastructure, and policy advocacy. Comparable as an industry body shaping EV and charging policy through government engagement, though at a much larger scale.
• Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM): Premier automotive industry body in India representing vehicle OEMs. Comparable as a long-established industry association engaging with the Indian government on mobility and EV policy, but at broader OEM level rather than CPO-specific.
• Confederation of Indian Industry (CII): Large industry chamber running task forces and committees on EVs, energy, and mobility. Comparable as a venue for industry-government coordination, but operates across sectors rather than being CPO-specialized.
• Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI): Major Indian business chamber with EV and clean-mobility committees interfacing with government. Comparable in policy advocacy function, but serves a much broader industry portfolio than CPOS.

Regional players

• ChargeUp Europe: European trade association for EV charging point operators and charge point service providers. Closely comparable in mission and constituency (CPOs), but operates in Europe rather than India.
• European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA): Lobbying and advocacy body for European automakers covering EV and charging policy. Comparable in industry-association policy advocacy, but serves OEMs at regional level rather than CPOs specifically.

Emerging players

• NHEV (National Highways for EVs): Indian program (with CPOS leadership overlap via Abhijeet Sinha) focused on highway EV charging corridors. Comparable as a domestic EV-charging infrastructure initiative with policy-shaping role, though program rather than membership association.

Direct peers

• CharIN e.V. Global industry alliance focused on charging standards (CCS, MCS) with members across CPOs, OEMs, and component makers. Comparable as a charging-network-focused industry association advocating interoperability and standards.
• Electric Vehicle Association of India: India-focused EV industry body advocating for OEMs, charging, and component stakeholders. Most directly comparable as a domestic EV-charging-aligned association with overlapping membership and policy mandate.
• India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA): Industry alliance for energy storage and EV mobility in India, working with NITI Aayog and government on policy. Comparable as a domestic clean-energy/EV industry association with policy advocacy at the center.
