V-Green has entered into a strategic partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to jointly develop Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) across HPCL’s wide network of fuel retail outlets in India.
Under the collaboration, V-Green will leverage HPCL’s nationwide fuel station footprint to deploy EV charging infrastructure in key markets. The initiative aims to enhance the overall EV user experience, accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in India and support the long-term growth of VinFast and HP e-Charge brands in 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.
The agreement 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.
V-Green Global Charging Station Development Company, Vietnam was established by VinFast’s founder, Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, with the aim of investing in and developing charging infrastructure systems to provide support for VinFast’s rapid global expansion, with India as one of its key markets. In Vietnam, V-Green has established its leading position and capabilities by operating approximately 150,000 charging ports across the country and continuously partnering with several partners to expand its network.
The collaboration with HPCL represents the next step in the collective efforts of V-Green, VinFast and their partners to build a comprehensive EV ecosystem in India encompassing manufacturing, charging infrastructure, after-sales services and battery recycling. 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.
