Jio-bp Launches ACTIVE Technology Petrol for Engine Clean-Up

30 Jan 2026 CW Team

The new fuel marks a shift from protection-focused formulations to active engine clean-up capability, aimed at delivering smoother performance, improved reliability and reduced maintenance for Indian motorists. The company said the product has been developed using industry-standard and customised tests aligned to India’s engine landscape, drawing on bp’s global fuel research.

To demonstrate real-world effectiveness, Jio-bp conducted a motorcycle test over more than 4,000 km at the Coimbatore test track, showing visible reduction of deposits and improved engine cleanliness.

The product was showcased at India Energy Week 2026 in Goa, where Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Hardeep Singh Puri visited the Jio-bp stall.

Talking about the product, Jio-bp Chairman, Sarthak Behuria, said: “Indian motorists value simple, real-world benefits—engines that run smoother, are more reliable, have reduced maintenance and deliver more kilometers for the same fuel spend. With Jio-bp ACTIVE Technology, we offer petrol that actively cleans the engine as you drive, helping reverse the effects of harmful deposits. Our aim is to democratize advanced fuel technology by making high-performance engine clean-up a standard offering, ensuring customers across India benefit from it every day.”

Jio-bp CEO, Akshay Wadhwa, said: “Today at India Energy Week 2026 in Goa, we have two motorcycles displayed side by side—one that has run on ACTIVE technology petrol and the other on regular petrol. Using advanced borescope imaging, the clean-up capability of ACTIVE technology petrol is explicitly visible. Backed by five years of tireless work in fuel chemistry, this petrol not only enhances fuel economy but also reduces maintenance. The motorcycle with ACTIVE technology petrol was run for 4,000 km at the Coimbatore testing track and the improvements translate into gains of up to 100 km* per annum. This is sheer differentiation backed by science. And this together with loyalty benefits and the recently launched Jio-bp Mobility+ Credit Card brings in recurring benefits to the consumer.”

At India Energy Week, Jio-bp also showcased electric vehicle charging solutions, aviation turbine fuel, doorstep diesel delivery, convenience services and a range of gaseous fuels, reflecting its focus on expanding low-carbon mobility solutions and diversified energy offerings.
