For Charge Point Operators

Run a charging network. Profitably.

Everything a CPO needs — hardware, CMS, consumer demand, roaming and settlement — from one vendor. Avoid the integration mess that kills most networks before they break even.

We made the boring part easy.

CPOs in India fail at the unglamorous parts: tariff plans that flex with discom rates, roaming settlements, GST reconciliation, UPI failure recovery, RFID provisioning. We run all of it so you can focus on picking sites.

  • Dynamic tariff plans tied to your discom's ToD schedule
  • OCPI 2.2.1 roaming with 11 Indian networks · +42% traffic
  • GST-compliant invoicing · pre-filed returns
  • UPI failure auto-retry · PG switch on the fly

The full stack

One contract. Five layers.

Buy any layer standalone or the full bundle. Most CPOs take the bundle — it's the reason we exist.

Hardware built for Indian sites

Seven DC models, six AC. BIS-listed and OCPP 2.0.1 native. Designed by our Pune team for 55°C ambient, monsoon-grade water ingress, and the 380V single-phase quirks of Indian discoms.

Common questions

CPO in India: answered.

CAPEX, payback, protocols, timelines — the questions every new CPO asks.

What does it cost to become a Charge Point Operator (CPO) in India?add
A single 120kW DC site typically requires ₹16.4L in hardware CAPEX plus ₹4L for installation. At 31% utilisation, payback is around 22 months; at 22% utilisation, payback extends to about 34 months.
What's the difference between a CPO model and a charging franchise?add
A CPO owns and operates its own charging network end-to-end. A franchise operates under an existing brand with more hand-holding but less control over pricing and hardware choices. Massive supports both models.
Do I need my own CMS to operate as a CPO, or can Massive provide it?add
Massive's OCPP 2.0.1-certified CMS is included in the CPO bundle, with dynamic tariffs, OCPI roaming, and settlement built in. CPOs can also license the CMS standalone for their own hardware.
How long does it take to launch a CPO network with Massive?add
Ten weeks for a typical 4-site, 8-charger network, from commercial close to live sessions on the Massive app. Enterprise deployments with site identification support run 14–16 weeks.
Can I use my own charging hardware with Massive's CMS and roaming network?add
Yes. The CMS is OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 certified and already manages chargers from 14 different hardware vendors, so existing fleets of non-Massive hardware can be onboarded.

Let's run the numbers on your network.

Send us proposed sites, we'll return a deployment plan, unit economics, and a hardware BOM within five working days.
