Electric vehicle charging point operator GLIDA (formerly Fortum Charge & Drive India) inaugurated a charging hub that can cater to 102 cars at a time in Shamshabad near the Hyderabad airport.

At any point, 102 cars can be charged at the hub, the company, which is a part of Finnish firm Fortum, said in a release. This is the largest such EV charging infrastructure in Hyderabad and can accelerate adoption of electric mobility.
