Jio-bp partners with UPSRTC to support electric bus charging infrastructure in UP and Delhi

Jio-bp and Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) have announced a partnership to deploy EV charging infrastructure and related services for more than 100 electric buses operating across Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.

The project will be implemented through Jio-bp pulse, the company’s electric mobility business, and is expected to be rolled out over the next few months across six clusters in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. According to the companies, the initiative is intended to support the expansion of public EV mobility infrastructure and electric public transport operations in the region.

As part of the project, Jio-bp will deploy fast-charging infrastructure for electric bus fleet operations. The companies stated that the charging network is intended to support operational requirements for electric buses operating on high-frequency routes.

“India’s transition towards sustainable mobility will be driven by strong public-private partnerships and the rapid electrification of mass transit systems, in line with the Government of India’s vision for cleaner and future-ready mobility. This collaboration between Jio-bp and UPSRTC is one of many important steps towards accelerating EV adoption at scale across high-utilization public transport corridors. As an organization, we remain committed to enabling this transition through reliable and accessible charging infrastructure as part of our broader efforts to support India’s sustainable mobility journey,” said Sarthak Behuria, Jio-bp Chairman

“This partnership with UPSRTC aligns closely with Jio-bp’s strategy of building a robust and scalable B2B EV charging ecosystem for India. With more than 6,000 charging points across the country, Jio-bp is steadily expanding its EV infrastructure footprint to support the growing demand for electric mobility. By supporting high-frequency electric bus operations with fast-charging infrastructure, we are strengthening our presence in commercial fleet electrification while enabling efficient, future-ready mobility solutions across key transportation corridors,” added Akshay Wadhwa, Jio-bp CEO

The companies stated that the project is aligned with the Government of India’s focus on increasing electric public transport adoption across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities and supporting emission reduction goals. According to the announcement, the partnership adds to Jio-bp pulse’s existing fleet and public transit electrification projects in India.
