Bharat Petroleum has been pioneers in providing innovative mobility related solutions to consumers in the field of energy. Our Pure for Sure customer promise launched at the turn of the century brought in a whole new paradigm in consumer trust and transparency at the point of sale and our expansive digital embrace has added new dimensions in convenience and personalization thereby enriching our customer engagement processes.
As we step into the exciting phase of energy transition, BPCL will continue to be at the
forefront of accelerating the spread of clean energy in the country and will be creating a
network of 7000 Energy Stations across the country with EV charging leading our endeavor.
India’s personal mobility is primarily driven by two-wheelers who form the largest part of our value customer base and the two-wheeler segment has been the early adopters of electric two wheelers.
Our alliance with Hero MotoCorp, global leader in the two-wheeler industry
and with a fine penchant for innovation, is therefore an extremely strategic step towards
ushering in an era of best-in-class EV charging solutions for our customers in our Energy Stations and an exciting future of innovative solutions in the EV sector”.
In a development that is set to electrify India, Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest
manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited
(BPCL), a ‘Maharatna’ and a Fortune Global 500 Company, have collaborated to set up
charging infrastructure for two-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs) across the country.
Align with its Vision to “Be the Future of Mobility” and with its aim to drive the growth of
EVs, Hero MotoCorp has become the first automotive OEM to tie up with the leading
Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) to set up charging infrastructure across the length and
breadth of India.
Bharat Petroleum, accelerating its focus on new business segments for sustainable growth, announce in September 2021 that it is converting 7,000 conventional Retail Outlets
into Energy Stations providing multiple fueling options, which will include EV charging
facility also, in the medium to long term.
The two mega entities will first establish a substantial charging infrastructure at the
existing nationwide energy station network and subsequently may broaden the
collaboration to develop more synergies within the EV ecosystem and adjacent business
verticals, thereby enabling prospects throughout the customer life cycle.
In the first phase, charging stations will be set up across nine cities starting with Delhi and
Bengaluru.
The network will be then expand across the country with the aim to
establish a high density of charging stations.
Hero MotoCorp will soon commence the infrastructure development in the two cities.
Each charging station will feature multiple charging points including DC and AC chargers and will be available for use to all two-wheeled EVs.
The entire user charging experience will be control by a Hero MotoCorp Mobile-App and will be a cashless transaction model.
The massive Bharat Petroleum energy station network will also provide accelerated
opportunities to expand the scope of operations and services.
The companies may utilize the gateways created to make additional investments into building a robust EV ecosystem.
