MG Motor in JV with BPCL to build EV infra across highways

MG Motor India has partnered with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd to bolster EV charging infrastructure across national highways in the country. The partnership with BPCL will add momentum to EV adoption by expanding opportunities for intercity travel as the two entities will install EV chargers across highways and within cities. With BPCL's vast customer reach and operations and MG's strides in the EV space, the two entities can combine expertise to strategically identify charging sites, garner consumer insights, devise loyalty programs, and create technology to manage charging systems.

Rajeev Chaba, President and MD, MG Motor India, said, "Our partnership with BPCL is yet another step to strengthening the EV charging infrastructure in India to energize and enhance customer confidence in EVs. BPCL's strong presence and vast network in India will ensure that existing and prospective customers across the country have convenient access to charging solutions."

BPCL Chairman and MD Arun Kumar Singh informed that sustainable consumption is the present and future, as the country moves into the era of mass electric mobility. BPCL is setting up fast-charging corridors across major highways in the country, interconnecting major cities, and economic centres, and will have a network of 7,000 conveniently located fast-charging stations in the country in the next 2-3 years.
