New Delhi, Aug 5 (UNI) Reliance BP Mobility Ltd (RBML) and Swiggy on Thursday announced the commencement of trials that will increase the deployment of EVs in the delivery fleet of India’s leading food delivery platform.

"This partnership between two leading industry players aims to synergize their strengths of scale, reach, and technology in creating a greener and cost-effective solution for delivery fleets through innovative business models. RBML will set up Jio-bp battery swapping stations at various locations assisted by Swiggy and provide all required technical assistance and training to Swiggy delivery partners and designated Swiggy staff related to battery swapping," said a joint statement by the two companies.
Reliance BP Mobility CEO Harish C. Mehta said that with an objective to support the Government of India’s vision of electric mobility, RBML has forayed into e-mobility services and is committed to creating an ecosystem which will help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the country.
"Leveraging the best of bp’s global learnings in electrification, RBML is setting up a robust and sustainable infrastructure comprising of EV charging hubs and battery swapping stations offering digitally enabled services to all stakeholders. Our collaboration with Swiggy has the potential to bring disruption and increase EV adoption among delivery and transportation companies in the country. We are confident Swiggy and their delivery partners will immensely benefit from our widespread network of battery swap stations,” he said.
Swiggy Chief Executive Sriharsha Majety said that the food delivery start-up delivers millions of orders each month with the company partners traveling an average of 80-100 kms daily.

Transitioning to EVs is an important step in this direction. It will have a positive impact not only on the environment but also empower our delivery partners to earn more,” said Majety.
