Jio-BP, the joint venture between Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and global energy giant BP, is set to significantly expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network across India. The company plans to establish over 30,000 charging points nationwide by 2030, a substantial leap from its current count of 5,600, according to sources familiar with the development.

Aligned with Govt’s EV Push

 This expansion aligns with the Indian government’s broader strategy to enhance EV infrastructure. The government recently allocated ₹2,000 crore under the PM E-drive scheme to promote charging networks, further facilitating the country’s shift toward sustainable mobility.

Key Milestones Achieved

 Jio-bp has been steadily increasing its charging footprint. The company marked a key milestone by launching its 5,000th EV charging point in September and has also established 500 dedicated charging stations across India, according to an official statement.

Challenges Amid Reduced Subsidies

 This aggressive expansion plan comes as the Indian government recalibrates its EV subsidy framework. Under the latest PM E-drive initiative, incentives have been tapered down, posing challenges for the broader EV ecosystem. Despite this, Jio-bp remains committed to enhancing India’s charging infrastructure to support the country’s accelerating EV adoption.
