In a significant stride towards bolstering Indiaโs electric mobility infrastructure, Servotech Power Systems Ltd., the countryโs premier manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) chargers, has clinched a monumental order for 2,649 alternating current (AC) EV chargers from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
Under the ambit of the BPCL E-drive Project, Servotech Power Systems will play a pivotal role in the manufacturing, supply, and installation of these AC EV chargers, strategically positioning them at petrol pumps across major cities in India. The EV chargers, featuring both 3 kW and 7 kW variants, aim to contribute significantly to the ongoing nationwide efforts to proliferate EV charging solutions.
The manufacturing and production of the AC chargers are already underway, with the supply set to commence on December 15th. The entire deployment is expected to be completed within a swift three-month timeframe, further emphasizing the commitment of Servotech Power Systems to expedite the growth of Indiaโs electric mobility sector.
This collaboration marks a continuation of the successful partnership between Servotech Power Systems and BPCL, where the two entities previously collaborated on BPCLโs E-drive project. In the earlier phase, Servotech Power Systems supplied and installed 800 units of 30 kW direct current (DC) fast EV chargers at various locations across the nation.
Sarika Bhatia, Director of Servotech Power Systems Ltd., expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, โWe are honored to lead Indiaโs E-Mobility revolution in partnership with BPCL, collaborating closely to establish an energy corridor enabling on-the-move charging for electric vehicles across India.โ
The AC EV chargers are expected to enhance the convenience of EV charging, aligning with Indiaโs ambitious goals in the E-Mobility sector. The initiative aims to create a robust e-mobility network, streamlining transactions, improving availability, facilitating discovery, and simplifying navigation for EV users. The ultimate goal is to ensure convenient access to the EV charging network, fostering the growth of electric mobility in the country.
Bhatia emphasized that the implementation of these chargers would not only enhance the convenience of EV charging but also make a substantial contribution to reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. As India embraces electric mobility, Servotech Power Systems remains committed to driving innovation in EV charging technology, supporting the nationโs transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
