Jaipur, December, 2021.

A rising demand for sustainable transport infrastructure has resulted in an increasing number of hospitality brands investing in electric vehicle (EV) charging points. With sustainability at the core of Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), the company’s brand, amã Stays & Trails– India’s first branded homestay portfolio, has collaborated with Tata Power – one of India’s largest private sector integrated companies, to install EV charging points at over 30 of its villas and heritage bungalows across 11 destinations. This is a step forward in catering to the evolving needs of our environmentally conscious consumer customers by reducing their travel carbon footprint and embracing a more sustainable future.

This collaboration marks an important step for both flagship Tata Group Companies in furthering their commitment towards adopting more sustainable and cost-efficient business practices. Under the partnership, Tata Power EZ Charge has established EV chargers for guests staying at the amã Stays & Trails homestays, allowing them to recharge their electric vehicles easily. Guests can be assured of Tata Power’s reliable and worry-free EV charging points within the comfort of their home stay, making driving vacations in their electric vehicles even more accessible while discovering breath-taking destinations with amã Stays & Trails.

With a portfolio of 59 heritage bungalows and villas including 23 in pipeline, amã Stays & Trails brings alive the local culture and heritage of the destination through authentic and immersive experiences. Now families and groups of friends can bond together in the exclusivity of beautiful bungalows and villas while enjoying a reliable and seamless EV charging experience courtesy of Tata Power.
