12 Jun 2025 CW Team

This integration adds over 5,100 chargers from HPCL’s network, including 2,900 DC fast chargers, to Statiq’s platform, significantly strengthening one of India’s largest and most accessible EV charging networks. With over 23,000 petrol pumps nationwide and aggressive expansion plans under the Government of India’s PM eDrive scheme by the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), HPCL is poised to play a transformative role in India's EV journey.

Statiq's EVLinq platform will power the seamless aggregation and real-time visibility of HPCL chargers, enabling EV users to discover, navigate, and charge at HPCL stations effortlessly. The platform ensures unified access, robust backend monitoring, and interoperability with multiple EV charging protocols.

With the onboarding of HPCL’s EV charging network, EVLinq further cements its position as India’s leading EV charging aggregation and interoperability platform. By enabling seamless integration of charging infrastructure from major OMCs, EVLinq is becoming the go-to backend engine for CPOs and eMSPs alike — powering visibility, access, and utilization across the EV charging ecosystem. This collaboration reinforces EVLinq’s mission to unify India’s fragmented EV landscape into a single, intelligent network, accelerating adoption and driving scale.

Echoing this sentiment, Raghav Arora, co-founder & CTO, Statiq, said, “We are thrilled to welcome HPCL’s extensive charging network onto the Statiq platform. This partnership not only adds scale to our network but also reinforces our mission to make EV charging seamless and convenient for every Indian EV owner. EVLinq is designed to power such nationwide integrations, and we’re excited about what this means for the future of EV mobility in India.”

With this development, Statiq's platform becomes even more comprehensive and reliable, offering users a strengthened network of public chargers across the country and reinforcing its position as a leading EV charging platform in India.
