Jio-bp, the joint venture between Reliance Industries Ltd and global energy giant bp, has announced ambitious plans to install more than 30,000 electric vehicle (EV) charging points across India by 2030, according to a report by Mint. This move represents a significant leap from the company’s existing network of around 5,600 charging points and underscores India’s commitment to developing widespread EV infrastructure.
As the country continues its push towards sustainable and cleaner energy solutions, Jio-bp aims to strategically position its charging stations in high-traffic and convenient locations such as malls, corporate parks, hotels, airports, and residential societies. This approach is designed to enhance accessibility and encourage the adoption of electric vehicles nationwide.
The expansion aligns with the Indian government’s goal of increasing EV penetration and reducing carbon emissions. With a strong presence in the energy sector and a deep-rooted commitment to innovation, Jio-bp’s initiative will play a crucial role in shaping India’s EV ecosystem. By developing a robust charging network, the company seeks to address one of the primary concerns among EV users—range anxiety—thereby fostering greater consumer confidence in electric mobility.
Jio-bp has been actively investing in EV infrastructure, forming partnerships and deploying state-of-the-art charging solutions across multiple regions. The company’s efforts also align with India’s Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, which seeks to boost EV production and infrastructure development.
As more automakers introduce electric models and the demand for EVs grows, the need for an extensive and efficient charging network has become increasingly vital. Jio-bp’s initiative to install 30,000 charging points by 2030 will significantly contribute to the country’s transition to cleaner transportation and energy sustainability.
With its vast resources and strategic partnerships, Jio-bp is well-positioned to drive this transformation, making EV charging more accessible and supporting India’s journey towards a greener future.
