Swiggy partners, Reliance for EVs

New Delhi: Reliance BP Mobility, a fuel retail JV between RIL and BP, and the country’s largest food aggregator Swiggy have inked a pact for adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), including electric two-wheelers, for deliveries. The deal is part of Reliance’s bid to fast-track the creation of an EV ecosystem in the country and create a market for high performance energy storage batteries it proposes to produce under a $10 billion green energy plan. The two entities began trials on Thursday, the company said in a statement. Reliance BP Mobility will set up battery swapping stations at its retail outlets, operating under the Jio-BP brand, in the next five years. It will also provide technical assistance and training to Swiggy delivery partners and other staff.
