SHWA is now live on the Charge Zone App!

Your charging stops just got a little more meaningful.

Users can now discover SHWA murals directly on the ChargeZone App, explore stations featuring public mural art, and dive deeper into the stories behind each mural while their EV charges. From the artist’s inspiration to the ideas rooted in sustainability, local culture, and clean energy, every mural becomes part of the journey.

Built around the vision of a Solarpunk India, SHWA reimagines public EV infrastructure and continues to ask what our infrastructure could look and feel like if it carried not only function, but culture, memory, and imagination.

ChargeZone SHWA started with a simple question. What does a sustainable future actually look like? And how do we begin working towards something that still feels distant, sometimes even unfamiliar?

We noticed that gap. The space between imagining a better future and actually being able to see it, feel it, relate to it. So we decided to do something about it.

What if the future didn’t feel so far away?
What if you could just come across it, in passing. On a wall. While you wait. In a moment you weren’t really looking for it.

Through art, we bring that idea a little closer. A solarpunk future where cities grow with nature, and clean energy becomes a natural part of everyday life. Not something you have to imagine, but something you can experience.

So a charging station becomes more than a stop. It becomes a small, tangible glimpse of what could be.

Because sometimes, believing in the future starts with seeing it.

That’s what SHWA is here to spark.

What does a “just transition” actually look like?

Maybe it’s something you can begin to see.
Not in reports or big promises, but in the way a space starts to come together.

For us, it’s about turning a thought into something real.
A future we’ve spoken about for years, slowly taking shape in front of us.

You see it in the details.
In how things don’t feel forced or out of place, but like they belong there.
Where infrastructure doesn’t interrupt, but it blends in.
Where everything feels a little more connected, a little more considered.

And somewhere in all of this,
you realise, this isn’t just progress.
It’s people, place, and purpose,
finding a way to move forward together.

Because a just transition was never only about energy.

It’s about how it feels for everyone it touches.

India’s clean energy transition is accelerating.
But as we build for the future, we keep asking, not just how fast we move, but how thoughtfully we move.

Energy infrastructure has always shaped land. From mines to megawatts.

For decades, mining landscapes have powered growth, but they’ve also reshaped communities, livelihoods, and entire ecosystems.
In many places, land was not just acquired, it was transformed. Sometimes at the cost of those who depended on it the most.

Even today, as we transition away from fossil fuels,the question remains the same:
Can progress avoid repeating the patterns of the past?

Because a just transition isn’t only about moving away from coal.
It’s about what we do with the land, the people, and the systems left behind.

How we repurpose.
How we rebuild.
How we include.

This is something we’ve been thinking about more deeply, not just through infrastructure, but through the spaces around it.

Across our stations, through SHWA, we’ve been working with artists to reimagine these spaces.
Not just as points of energy, but as reflections of a different future.

In Chennai, Vellore, Chittoor, each mural explores a simple but powerful idea :
What if energy could coexist with life, instead of replacing it?

Where infrastructure feels integrated, not imposed. Where growth doesn’t come at the cost of identity.

For us, the transition isn’t just about cleaner energy. It’s about building it in a way that is more aware of what came before, and more responsible about what comes next.

Not just clean. But considered.
Not just efficient. But equitable.

India’s energy story is changing fast.
From coal to solar. From one infrastructure to another.

But here’s the question we don’t ask enough:

Who is this transition really working for?

Because clean energy isn’t just about reducing emissions.
It’s about how we build it, where we build it, and who it impacts along the way.

A future can be green.
And still not be fair.

A few glimpses before the full story unfolds.

Along the banks of the Godavari in Rajahmundry, a mural slowly begins to take shape.
A Blueprint to the Future.
An unfolding of color, movement, and negotiations between clean energy, community life, and the landscape that holds them.

This short video gathers some early moments.
Fragments, hands at work, ideas finding form.

Watch this space to deep dive into the making of this mural.

The wall tells a story, but it starts with the people who brought it to life.

For A Blueprint to the Future, the team worked with ideas rooted in Rajahmundry. The Godavari, local landscapes, everyday livelihoods, and the possibilities of clean energy all come together in a mural that imagines progress while staying connected to place.

A Blueprint to the Future

Set in the living landscape of Rajahmundry, this mural imagines a hopeful future where nature, community, and clean energy grow together. Anchored by the Godavari River, the artwork brings together local livelihoods, horticulture, native flora, and everyday life with elements of solar, wind, and water energy.

Through symbols like the child and the paper plane, the mural reflects imagination, movement, and the idea that the future is built from local roots and collective care. A solarpunk vision where tradition, technology, and sustainability exist in balance.

The mural at Krishnagiri is an ode to the serene landscapes and lush greenery that define the region. This beauty, however, exists alongside an ongoing tension between people and the ecology they inhabit. The artists engage with this reality by drawing from the work of Dr. Raman Sukumar, whose research on elephant migration highlights the human-wildlife dynamics shaping everyday life here.

Even within this friction, the region and its people continue to thrive with their environment, not as something separate or subordinate, but as part of a circular relationship.

Known as the mango corridor of the south, the landscape brings together solar rooftops, winding blue streams, and farmers harvesting under golden light. Technology, from drones to clean energy infrastructure, blends seamlessly into daily life. The mural gestures toward a future where nature and innovation exist in balance.
