Jio-bp to Build EV Charging Infrastructure across Citroën India Dealership Network

Citroën India has entered into a strategic partnership with Jio-bp, a fuels and mobility joint venture (JV) between Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and bp, for developing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and services across its network. 

Under the partnership, Jio-bp will install DC fast chargers across Citroën’s key dealership network and workshops across the country in phases. 

Also, these chargers will be open to the entire universe of EV car customers to help boost EV adoption among consumers.

With the new Citroën ë-C3 All Electric scheduled for launch in Q1 2023, this partnership will ensure Jio-bp’s charging infrastructure network is accessible via the My Citroën Connect app. 

Jio-bp currently operates a rapidly expanding network of EV charging and swapping stations under the Jio-bp pulse brand and its entire range of offerings can be accessed via its mobile app that helps customers easily locate EV charging stations in their vicinity, facilitates digital payments amongst others. 

Driven by the vision to be among India’s largest EV charging network, Jio-bp has been developing an electric mobility ecosystem that would benefit stakeholders across the EV value chain and is expanding its EV charging network by setting up chargers at multiple touch points within cities and major highways to ensure smooth intra-city and inter-city commutes for EV owners. 

Since 1919, Citroën has been creating automobiles, technologies and mobility solutions to respond to changes in society. It has been present in 101 countries and has a network of 6,200 points of sale and service throughout the world.
