Highlights
- BPCL plan to set up EV charging facilities at around 7,000 stations.
- BPCL has a distribution network involving 19,000+ retail outlets
- The move will provide BPCL a new business opportunity.
In September 2021, the Indian government-owned oil and gas corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) announced its plans to set up electric vehicles (EV) charging facilities at around 7,000 energy stations across India, phased out over the next five years. Keeping up with this promise, BPCL announced that the first 1,000 facilities will be ready by October 2022. The move will provide BPCL with a new business opportunity as well as a hedge against the risk of displacement of auto fuels while building a robust electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
