MG Motor India and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd collaborate to expand EV charging infrastructure in India, installing fast chargers at key locations for long distance and intercity commutes.
New Delhi: MG Motor India on Wednesday said it has joined hands with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to expand EV charging infrastructure across the country.
As per the collaboration , MG and HPCL will together install 50kW/60kW DC fast chargers at key locations covering highways and cities across India, the automaker said in a statement.
The partnership focuses on providing convenience to EV users by increasing the availability of EV chargers during their long distance and intercity commutes, it added.
"HPCL's vast network and significant presence in India will ensure that existing and prospective EV users across the country have convenient access to our charging solutions," MG Motor India Chief Growth Officer Gaurav Gupta said.
HPCL Chief General Manager - Highway Retailing Rajdip Ghosh said the company has a nationwide network of over 22,000 fuel stations and is committed to a sustainable future by providing green fuel to the customers.
Furthermore, HPCL aims to install 5,000 electric vehicle charging stations by December 2024, he noted.
"Through this partnership with MG Motor India, HPCL shall leverage the vehicle base of MG to increase the utilisation of its chargers installed across India," Ghosh said.
India has approved a Rs 10,000 crore ATF Price Stabilisation Fund, but domestic jet fuel has also been raised by 10% under a new three-year pricing regime. FuelPrice explains what that combination means for airlines, fares, route economics and mobility costs for passengers.
Noida International Airport has begun commercial operations, but launch-week access is still largely road-led for NCR travellers. FuelPrice explains what the cab-heavy ground reality, official EV taxi options, and the 45 electric plus 3 hydrogen bus rollout mean for travel cost, congestion and cleaner airport mobility.
Tamil Nadu lorry operators have moved to raise freight rates by 25% from June 15, 2026 after recent diesel price increases. FuelPrice explains why the rate jump matters for manufacturers, traders, transporters, inflation-sensitive goods and the wider logistics chain.
Goa's Kadamba Transport Corporation says the latest diesel-price surge is adding roughly Rs 60 lakh to its monthly fuel bill. FuelPrice explains what that means for state-bus finances, service quality, commuter fares and the wider pass-through from diesel volatility to daily mobility.
