Caliber Interconnects Private Ltd. has received certification from the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) for its electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, marking an important regulatory milestone as India continues to scale its electric mobility infrastructure.
ARAI certification confirms that Caliber’s EV chargers comply with national standards related to safety, performance, and environmental requirements—benchmarks that are increasingly critical as EV adoption expands across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, fleets, and public charging networks. The certification positions the company’s charging systems for deployment across a wide range of residential, commercial, and public use cases.
Commenting on the development, Suresh Babu, Founder and CEO of Caliber Interconnects, said the certification reflects the growing importance of dependable charging infrastructure in the EV ecosystem. “As India’s EV market matures, the focus is shifting from early adoption to long-term reliability and scalability,” he said. “ARAI certification is an essential step in ensuring that charging systems meet the operational and safety expectations of a rapidly expanding market.”
Caliber Interconnects’ certified EV charging portfolio spans multiple power ratings and formats, addressing the diverse requirements of India’s mobility landscape. The portfolio includes AC chargers rated at 3.3 kW, 7.4 kW, and 22 kW; hybrid chargers combining 30 kW DC with 22 kW AC output; DC fast chargers ranging from 30 kW to 240 kW; and dedicated DC chargers for two-wheelers at 3 kW and 6 kW.
Such breadth is increasingly relevant as charging infrastructure extends beyond urban locations to include highways, fleet depots, workplaces, and residential developments. The range is designed to support multiple vehicle categories and charging scenarios under varied operating conditions.
All chargers are integrated with Cogency, Caliber’s proprietary smart charging platform. The platform enables real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and performance optimisation, and is compliant with OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 standards. Support for both Android and iOS platforms allows for interoperability with existing charging networks and remote management by charge point operators, utilities, OEMs, and infrastructure developers.
With much of the current EV charging hardware market dependent on imports, industry attention has increasingly turned toward locally engineered and manufactured solutions. Indigenous development is viewed as a key factor in improving serviceability, lifecycle support, and alignment with Indian grid and environmental conditions.
As India continues to expand its EV charging footprint, ARAI-certified systems are expected to play a foundational role in ensuring safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance across deployments. For infrastructure providers, such certifications are becoming an essential prerequisite in a market that is steadily moving toward scale.
