Statiq, one of India's leading electric vehicle charging networks, has recently won a significant tender from Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd. (BPCL), marking a considerable step forward in improving the country's EV infrastructure. This collaboration involves Statiq developing a custom app for BPCL and incorporating BPCL's existing charging network, which includes about 2,800 chargers (2,000 AC and 800 DC chargers), into Statiq's platform.

Akshit Bansal, the CEO of Statiq, expressed enthusiasm about the tender win, emphasizing it as an opportunity to make EV charging more accessible and reliable, leveraging BPCL's vast network to offer seamless charging solutions to a broader audience.

Statiq is renowned for its expertise in developing the technology and software necessary for the efficient operation of EV charging stations, focusing on ensuring a smooth and user-friendly charging process. This initiative is particularly relevant in the face of the urgent need for sustainable transportation solutions to combat climate change, with EVs playing an essential role in reducing pollution. Statiq's efforts in creating an extensive network of charging stations are crucial for facilitating the adoption of eco-friendly transportation and supporting the transition to a greener future.

Furthermore, Statiq's network comprises over 7,000 chargers across 65 cities, including tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 cities, with a plan to expand to 20,000 chargers by 2025. The network is designed to support a wide range of EVs, thus catering to the evolving needs of EV owners. By incorporating BPCL's chargers, Statiq aims to build a cohesive and reliable EV charging ecosystem in India, significantly contributing to the country's shift toward sustainable and electrified transportation. This initiative aligns with the broader goal of enhancing the convenience and reliability of EV charging, thereby supporting the daily charging needs of e-vehicles and reducing the environmental impact of transportation.
