Bharat Petroleum further plans to provide CCS-2 electric-vehicle charging stations (EVCS) at its fuel stations at periodic intervals on all major national highways connecting major cities and economic centres in the country to boost inter-city travel on electric vehicles.

The company aims to become a net-zero energy company by 2040 and in order to achieve this, the company is developing a road-map of sustainable solutions. Last year, the company had announced that it will offer space to set up EV charging points at its over 9,000 petrol pumps.
