EKA Mobility and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on advancing sustainable mobility solutions and green energy initiatives across India.
The partnership combines EKA Mobility’s expertise in electric commercial vehicles with HPCL’s extensive nationwide energy and retail infrastructure. Together, the companies will develop, pilot and scale innovative solutions in areas such as electric mobility, charging infrastructure, battery swapping, green hydrogen and sustainable logistics.
Under this collaboration, EKA Mobility and HPCL will leverage HPCL’s extensive fuel retail network to set up charging infrastructure for commercial electric vehicles, including battery swapping stations where needed, promoting cleaner and more efficient transportation solutions across the country.
HPCL is one of India’s largest state-owned oil and gas corporations, operating over 24,400 retail outlets across the country and over 5,300 electric vehicle charging stations under the HP e-Charge brand.
This MoU assumes strategic importance as India accelerates its transition towards green transportation. HPCL’s existing retail outlet footprint provides a strong platform for accelerated EV charging infrastructure deployment and seamless nationwide expansion.
The collaboration with HPCL represents the next step in the collective efforts of Eka Mobility, a leading Indian electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, to build a comprehensive EV ecosystem encompassing manufacturing, charging infrastructure, after-sales services, green hydrogen and sustainable logistics. It is considered an important foundation for realizing the goal of promoting widespread electric vehicle adoption and sustainable transportation in the world’s third-largest automotive market.
