Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has entered into a strategic partnership with Mahindra Electric Automobile Limited (MEAL) to accelerate the development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across India. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to jointly set up fast-charging stations at BPCL outlets, supporting India's green mobility mission.

This collaboration will leverage BPCL’s vast fuel station network and MEAL’s expertise in electric mobility to offer seamless and accessible EV charging for customers. The initiative aligns with BPCL’s broader energy transition strategy to become a net-zero energy company by 2040, while supporting Mahindra’s vision for expanding its electric SUV portfolio.

BPCL currently operates over 90 fast-charging stations on highways and aims to scale up to 7,000 EV charging points by 2025, focusing on convenience, speed, and reliability for EV users.

The partnership underscores the growing momentum behind public-private collaborations to develop a strong EV ecosystem in India. It also reflects the shared commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation solutions across urban and intercity routes.

With this alliance, both companies are paving the way for a cleaner and more connected mobility future.
