Indian Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider Yuma Energy has announced a partnership with energy company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) to rapidly scale its battery swapping network across the country. HPCL has a network of over 24,000 retail outlets.

This will help riders, delivery fleets and businesses get access to instant and reliable energy access, the company said.
“This collaboration is a big leap forward in building India’s clean mobility infrastructure. By tapping into HPCL’s unparalleled reach, Yuma will rapidly deploy its AI-driven, smart battery swapping stations at high-demand locations, from bustling metro streets to busy tier-2 town markets,” Yuma Energy said in a post on LinkedIn. “With 35M+ battery swaps already completed and 2,000+ stations across 17 cities, Yuma Energy is scaling faster than ever and with HPCL by our side, the future of urban mobility looks cleaner, smarter, and more accessible.”
