Fuel and mobility company Jio-bp, which is a joint venture between Reliance Industries & bp, has partnered with Nexus Malls for facilitating EV charging stations and battery swapping stations.
The partnership includes the installation of various 24×7 EV charging stations for two and four-wheelers.
All in all, the installations would be done in 17 malls across 13 cities.
During the first phase, beginning this month, the installation will take place at Nexus Malls in Navi Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad.
The main objective behind this partnership is to enhance footfall in malls by offering a charging service for vehicles, the company said in a press release.
“The move is part of Jio-bp’s plan to encourage EV adoption amongst the Indian population and to encourage sustainable behaviour,” it said.
