State-owned BPCL awards order for EV charges to Servotech Power Systems

State-owned refiner Bharat Petroleum Corporation has awarded an order for electric vehicle (EV) chargers to Servotech Power Systems. Servotech Power Systems and BPCL had previously worked together to transform the E-Mobility landscape. Informing the BSE about the order, Servotech on Wednesday said that the order is for manufacturing, supplying and installing EV chargers across the nation. 

"Servotech Power Systems Ltd., the leading manufacturer of EV Chargers in the country, has bagged 2649 AC EV charger orders from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). The company will be responsible for manufacturing, supplying and installing 2649 AC EV Chargers strategically across the nation, equipping petrol pumps in major Indian cities under the BPCL E-drive Project, playing a key role in the widespread implementation of EV charging solutions," the company said in an exchange filing.

The range of EV chargers includes 3 kW and 7 kW for this project. However, the company did not disclose the value of the order in its statement issued on Wednesday.

The manufacturing and production of these AC chargers has already begun, and the supply of the chargers will start on December 15 and will be completed within three months.

The company also supplied and installed 800 units of 30 KW DC fast EV Chargers at different locations across the country for BPCL's E-drive project.

It will oversee the installation, commissioning, and upkeep of AC EV chargers and this initiative aims to establish e-mobility touchpoints that streamline transactions, enhance availability, facilitate discovery, and simplify navigation for EV users, ensuring convenient access to the EV charging network.

"Implementing these chargers will not only enhance the convenience of EV charging but will also contribute significantly to reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation," Sarika Bhatia, Director of Servotech Power Systems.
