If you own an EV that can accept 120kW, this new station means you can fill a battery in a fraction of the time you’d spend at a standard mall. The Prasads IMAX location can deliver up to 120kW of power, enough to add 80% charge to many models in roughly 20 minutes. That’s a huge time saver compared to the 50kW chargers that still dominate most Indian cities.
The launch is part of a growing trend of destination chargers that let you plug in while you eat, shop or watch a movie. ThunderPlus’ choice of a high‑footfall mall makes the most of the time you’re already spending in the city, and the station sits near key landmarks – Telangana Secretariat, Hussain Sagar Lake and Necklace Road – making it a convenient pit‑stop for commuters and leisure travelers alike.
ThunderPlus’ partnership with a woman franchise investor, Kundurthy Pavithra, signals a new wave of entrepreneurship in the EV infrastructure sector. The investment not only diversifies the company’s funding base but also showcases how smaller, local players can help fill the charging gap, especially in hubs where large corporates have yet to deploy high‑capacity units.
With the battery‑economy push and the 2026 EV mandate, more cities will need fast chargers to keep up. The Prasads IMAX station is a step toward that future, and buyers should keep an eye on similar deployments in other malls and transit hubs. Expect more 100kW‑plus chargers to appear in Hyderabad’s next wave of retail and entertainment centres.
