BPCL in talks with e-2w-makers to share outlets for charging stations
Divestment-bound Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) is in talks with two original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the electric two-wheeler segment to set up charging stations at their retail outlets across the country.
The company is also planning to invest around Rs 1,400 crore to add four-wheeler EV charging facilities at around 7,000 or 36 per cent of its retail outlets by 2024, a top company official told Business Standard. On Thursday, the company launched India’s first EV fast-charging corridor on Chennai – Trichy – Madurai highway, with the rollout of DC fast chargers at 10 fuel stations along the 900 Km route on both sides of the highway.
