Against the backdrop of the rapid development of new energy vehicles and charging infrastructure around the world, SCU has actively responded to the dual demands of overseas markets for local manufacturing and technology output. SCU has successfully provided large-scale EV charger SKD (Semi Knocked Down) solutions for multiple Indian customers, including key components such as EV charger power module, SECC controller, power line communication (PLC) modem, CSU, display screens, and electric meters.
Indian EV charger policy: high tariffs + “localized manufacturing”
Faced with the Indian government’s 25% high tariff on imported complete machines and strict “localized manufacturing” requirements.
- India imposes higher tariffs on imported complete EV chargers (usually 15%-25% or higher), while lower tariffs on imported parts/disassembled parts (may be as low as 5%-10% or enjoy preferential treatment). Importing parts through SKD/CKD and assembling them locally can significantly reduce the overall tax burden.
- The Indian government is providing incentives and support to companies investing in electric vehicle charger manufacturing facilities, including potential subsidies, tax breaks and other financial assistance to encourage local production.
India is at a critical stage of transformation to electric transportation. As the infrastructure supporting the development of electric vehicles, the construction speed and scale of EV chargers are crucial to the development of the industry. As the manufacturing system is not yet fully mature, many local companies still face challenges in production capacity, technical experience and quality control. SCU provides EV Charger SKD services to help customers quickly establish localized assembly lines, effectively reduce the pressure of initial equipment investment, shorten the product landing cycle, and improve the consistency and controllability of product quality.
Why do Indian customers choose SCU’s SKD service?
- Module Plug&Charge: 90% circuit pre-installed, only mechanical connection and power-on test required;
- Continuous technology upgrade: support OTA remote upgrade, ISO 15118 protocol;
- Deep localization experience: has served many Indian customers and is familiar with certification differences;
- Fast supply speed: the company is large in scale and has fast production speed.
Technology output and customized support
The SKD service provided this time covers SCU’s self-developed high-efficiency EV charger modules, SECC controllers, PLCs, CSU, etc. All components have passed rigorous testing and meet international standards. In addition, SCU also provides customers with assembly guidance, remote debugging and after-sales technical training to ensure that the performance of the assembled product meets the expected standards. Through the combination of standardized components and customized services, SCU helps customers create local brand charging products with market competitiveness.
Win-win electrification future
SCU has established a stable partner network in many countries and regions around the world. This SKD cooperation with Indian customers is an important part of SCU’s deepening of its localization layout in overseas markets, and also provides a replicable and popularizable model for more international projects in the future. In the future, SCU will continue to export EV charger SKD solutions and work with global partners to jointly promote the development of clean energy and electric travel.
