Mumbai: Oil marketing companies (OMCs) – Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation – are facing a new challenge these days with every electric vehicle sold in the country eating into the sale of liquid fuel – petrol and diesel.
With EV sales steadily gaining pace, senior officials from these companies said they have already diversified into setting up electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and battery swapping stations to offset the potential impact of lower fuel sales going forward.
