Statiq, a provider of electric car charging services, announced on Monday that it has been awarded a contract to deliver 18 chargers to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd for installation at important locations across the country.

IOCL wants to build up these chargers, encompassing both 30kW and 60kW for four-wheelers, at strategic places within its network, the company said in a statement. At their 63rd AGM, the state-owned oil and gas corporation revealed its ambition to attain a net zero emission target by 2046 and of having set aside ₹2 trillion to that end.

IOCL has been pursuing a vigorous green agenda to guide the country’s green energy transition by focusing on several emission mitigation channels such as biofuels, green hydrogen, renewables, etc.

This will help us propagate to the general population the message of making the transition to clean energy in an easy fashion that is also affordable and reliable,” said Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, Chairman and Managing Director, IOCL.
