Al asociarse con la marca minorista de combustible, la empresa acelerará la expansión de su Ather Grid, que atiende a la creciente base de clientes de scooters eléctricos en todo el país.
BPCL seeks to be at the forefront of accelerating the spread of clean energy in the country. With the ambition to create a network of 7,000 Energy Stations across India, EV charging takes center stage in its endeavors.
“We are steadily moving closer to our goal of converting 7000 of our conventional Retail Outlets into Energy Stations which is a part of a comprehensive decarbonization strategy to support and prioritize sustainable initiatives. Electric 2 wheelers are leading EV adoption, a charging infrastructure at Retail Outlets would bring confidence and convenience to early EV adopters,” said Rajiv Dutta, Head of Retail North at BPCL.
BPCL continues to pursue its vision of electrifying petrol bunks, playing a pivotal role in the transition to cleaner energy solutions, and contributing to a sustainable and eco-friendly future for India.
