Government-run oil and gas giant Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has inked a partnership with Bengaluru-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Bounce Infinity to establish retail stores for two-wheeler EVs at BPCL fuel retail outlets

This collaboration will leverage BPCL's extensive network to transform select fuel stations into EV sales hubs. As per BPCL's website, it has over 14,802 fuel stations across the country.

These stores will be operated either by Bounce Infinity or through BPCL's dealer network and each outlet will have charging points for customers to charge their vehicles on-site.

Bounce Infinity will help BPCL's on-ground dealers by offering marketing support, managing inventory, and providing training. The state gas company also plans to offer EV charging stations at around 7,000 petrol stations over the next five years.
