Jio-bp introduces E20 blended petrol in India

The move supports Government of India’s directive on E20 fuel and aligned with the company’s net-zero ambitions.

Fuel and convenience retailer Jio-bp has announced the initial rollout of E20 petrol. In line with the roadmap set by the Government, Jio-bp has become one of the first OMCs in India to offer E20.

E20 blending in petrol is being introduced by the Government with the aim to reduce the country’s dependency on foreign oil, increase energy security and reduce carbon emissions. India also hopes to use damaged food grains and provide a higher income to farming lands.

India's market for fuels and mobility is rapidly growing. It is expected to be the fastest-growing fuels market in the world over the next 20 years.

The Jio-bp joint venture looks to become a leader in fuels and mobility by leveraging Reliance’s vast presence in India and bp’s extensive global experience.
