Ador Powertron launches 30kW power module for EV fast chargers

Pune-based power electronics company, Ador Powertron has introduced a 30kW AC-DC converter module under its Yonder brand. The product, designed and built in India, serves as a core component for DC fast chargers and has received ARAI certification for IEC 61851-21-2 / IS 17017-21-2 EMC standards. The company also inaugurated a dedicated manufacturing and assembly line in Pune for this product series, with an annual capacity of up to 100,000 converter units, aimed at supporting charger OEMs and Charge Point Operators (CPOs).

The company stated that the launch supports localisation efforts under the government’s Make in India initiative by replacing a sub-assembly that was previously import-dependent. According to Ador Powertron, this is expected to help reduce lead times and streamline service logistics. The announcement comes as the Centre has extended the PM E-DRIVE scheme until 31 March 2028, keeping public charging infrastructure expansion in focus.

The government has proposed mandatory localisation of the converter component in DC fast chargers by the end of 2025. Ador Powertron noted that such measures could align procurement with domestic manufacturing capabilities and that a temporary increase in import duties may further encourage local production as the industry scales up.

The 30kW Yonder module is designed to operate as a stackable building block for DC fast charging systems, allowing multiple modules to be combined for higher power configurations. The module has a reported peak efficiency of 96%, a power factor of at least 0.99, and uses a forced-air cooling system. When combined, multiple modules can deliver outputs of up to 480kW or 960kW, suitable for car, bus, and truck charging applications.

With the PM E-DRIVE initiative promoting expansion of public charging networks across urban clusters, transport hubs, and highway corridors, modular chargers built around 30kW units are expected to facilitate phased deployment. The Yonder module, designed and built in India, features high efficiency and modular architecture to reduce energy losses, optimise equipment use, and enables quick unit-level replacements to minimise downtime. Its local production supports Make in India eligibility criteria in public tenders and reduces reliance on imported components.

Ravin Mirchandani, Executive Chairman of Ador Powertron, said “India needs dependable, high-efficiency, compact power modules and a local partner behind them. Our 30 kW, ARAI-tested Yonder converter, built indigenously, is engineered for higher uptime and faster deployment, with standards-tested compliance and a service model designed for quick, module-level swaps. And by localising the converter, we reduce import exposure and help networks meet Make-in-India objectives.”

Ador Powertron, part of the 118-year-old Ador Group, develops power electronics systems for applications including EV charging, green hydrogen, emission control, and defence. The company stated that its experience in converter and rectifier design has informed the development of the Yonder module to suit Indian operating conditions.
