HPCL is one of India’s leading state-owned oil and gas corporations, operating more than 24,000 retail outlets nationwide and running more than 5,400 EV charging stations under the HP e-charge brand. Charge_iN by Mahindra is part of the brand’s vision to UNLIMIT electric mobility by making an ultrafast charging network.
This is something that aligns with the government’s vision of strengthening public EV charging facilities. With the EV market growing, of course, the charging facility needs a boost, and these types of initiatives work towards that only.
