Reliance Jio-bp to set up charging stations for Mahindra e-SUVs starting with 16 cities, for smooth EV travel

Reliance Industries’ arm Jio-BP will lay a network of charging stations at Mahindra & Mahindra dealerships and workshops across the country, initially starting with 16 cities. Jio-BP – a JV between Mukesh Ambani’s RIL and London-based BP – will install DC fast chargers for Mahindra’s e-SUV production line. These stations will be open to the public, hence benefiting all stakeholders in the electric vehicles chain, the conglomerates announced in a joint statement. The two industry giants established their EV partnership in December last year by signing a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU).
