Anant Mukesh Ambani, director, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Murray Auchincloss, CEO, bp, today inaugurated the 500th Jio-bp pulse EV-charging station of Jio-bp, a fuels and mobility joint venture between Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and bp. The commissioning of the EV-charging station at Jio World Centre (JWC), Mumbai, marks the installation of the 5000th Jio-bp pulse charging point in India.

Jio-bp has expanded its network of EV charging stations at a rapid pace, growing from 1,300 to 5,000 charging points in just a year. Up to 95% of Jio-bp EV charging network comprises fast-charging stations—the highest in the industry.

Jio-bp is purportedly the first in the industry to deploy the top-rated 480 kW chargers, enabling an efficient and quick charging experience at locations such as malls, public parking, corporate parks, hotels, and wayside amenities.

“Jio-bp is playing a pioneering role in accelerating EV adoption in India. With the largest network share of fast-charging stations, fastest growth in EV-charging infra, and highest reliability, Jio-bp is offering a well-packaged, digitized charging solution to millions of Indians,” said Anant M. Ambani at the launch.

“EV charging is one of bp’s key transition businesses in our journey to becoming an integrated energy company. We are focusing on scale, speed, and strategic locations to provide a seamless customer experience. By combining bp and Reliance Industries Ltd’s capabilities, we are delivering EV charging with convenience, creating a unique value proposition for customers,” said Murray Auchincloss.
