Adani Total Gas and Jio-bp Partnership: The Big Shift
In a development set to significantly alter the fuel retailing landscape in India, Adani Total Gas Ltd. (ATGL) and Jio-bp, the fuel and mobility brand backed by Reliance Industries and bp (British Petroleum), have announced a strategic partnership. This alliance aims to consolidate their strengths in fuel distribution, offering Indian consumers an integrated, modern, and sustainable fueling experience.
This collaboration goes far beyond the typical business tie-up. It’s a well-timed strategic move that brings together two infrastructure powerhouses with complementary expertise. The result? A nationwide network of hybrid fuel stations offering high-performance petrol, diesel, and eco-friendly CNG—all under one roof.
What the Adani Total Gas and Jio-bp Partnership Entails
At the heart of this partnership lies a clear vision: to co-create a fuel retailing experience that prioritizes quality, convenience, and clean energy. Here’s how the companies plan to achieve it:
Integration of Fuel and Gas Offerings
- ATGL Outlets to Offer Jio-bp’s High-Performance Liquid Fuels
Select Adani Total Gas outlets across India will now retail Jio-bp’s premium petrol and diesel, giving customers access to superior-grade liquid fuels supported by advanced refining and quality control processes. - Jio-bp Stations to Feature ATGL’s CNG Infrastructure
Conversely, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) dispensing devices from ATGL will be installed at a number of Jio-bp gasoline stations. These will be rolled out in authorized geographical areas where ATGL has exclusive distribution rights.
This mutual infrastructure sharing approach not only expands access but also reinforces the commitment of both entities to India’s energy diversification goals.
“We are united by a shared vision to offer our customers a superior selection of high-quality fuels”
– Sarthak Behuria (Chairman, Jio-bp)
“This partnership will enable us to leverage each other’s infrastructure, thus enhancing customer experience and offerings”
– Suresh P. Manglani (Executive Director & CEO, Adani Total Gas Ltd.)
Infrastructure Strength: Numbers That Tell the Story
This partnership rests on a solid operational foundation:
- Adani Total Gas Ltd. (ATGL) currently operates over 650 CNG stations across the country and is rapidly expanding its network to meet rising demand from commercial, industrial, and household sectors.
- Jio-bp has a wide fuel station network, with more than 2,000 outlets, offering modern amenities and high-quality fuels across various urban and highway locations.
With the agreement covering both existing and upcoming outlets, the combined infrastructure can provide access to a multi-energy offering across more than 2,600 locations.
Why This Collaboration Is a Game-Changer for India’s Energy Sector
A One-Stop Fueling Solution for Every Vehicle
In an era of evolving mobility, customers increasingly seek multi-fuel stations that can cater to everything from traditional petrol vehicles to CNG-powered fleets and electric cars. This partnership facilitates precisely that, delivering a comprehensive energy ecosystem under one banner.
- For private car owners: High-performance petrol and diesel options
- For public and fleet operators: Widespread access to CNG
- For emerging EV users: Integrated electric charging points (from ATGL’s EV initiatives)
Reinforcing Clean Energy Goals
Both ATGL and Jio-bp have invested heavily in sustainable energy technologies. ATGL, a joint venture between Adani Group and TotalEnergies, is deeply involved in city gas distribution, biogas, EV charging infrastructure, and LNG supply. Meanwhile, Jio-bp is promoting low-carbon alternatives and new-age mobility solutions through digital technology.
Together, they are uniquely positioned to support India’s transition toward a cleaner, greener energy future, in alignment with national objectives like net-zero carbon emissions and increased CNG penetration.
What Sets This Partnership Apart?
This is not the first time energy companies have collaborated in India, but few partnerships have demonstrated such complementary synergy. Here’s what makes it stand out:
| Feature | Adani Total Gas | Jio-bp | Combined Strength |
| Core Focus | City gas distribution, CNG, biogas, EV, LNG | Liquid fuels, mobility, convenience retail | Full-spectrum fuel and energy offerings |
| Reach | 650+ stations (CNG, gas) | 2,000+ fuel retail outlets | 2,600+ multi-fuel outlets |
| Innovation | Smart metering, gas infrastructure | Digital forecourts, loyalty programs | Next-gen, digital-first fueling |
Broader Impacts on India’s Fuel Economy
Urban-Rural Coverage and Seamless Connectivity
With Jio-bp’s presence along roads and isolated areas and ATGL’s dominance in metro and tier-2 cities, this cooperation promises to create a strong and smooth fuelling network that connects towns, cities, and logistics routes.
Support for Government Initiatives
This alliance directly supports various government programs:
- SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) by promoting biogas and clean CNG.
- FAME-II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) via the expansion of EV charging points.
- City Gas Distribution initiatives by expanding CNG infrastructure in authorized zones.
Employment and Skill Development
With infrastructure expansion comes the creation of new employment opportunities—from station operators and technicians to logistics personnel and digital support teams.
What to Expect Going Forward
Wider Rollout of Multi-Fuel Stations
Expect to see co-branded or hybrid stations offering multiple energy formats—CNG, petrol, diesel, and EV—especially along highway corridors and urban clusters.
Technological Advancements
ATGL and Jio-bp are both embracing digital transformation. This means fuel stations could soon offer:
- App-based fuel purchases and CNG refills
- Real-time pricing and fuel quality tracking
- Contactless payments and loyalty programs
Greater Consumer Convenience
Imagine a one-stop fueling hub where a delivery fleet can top up CNG, a commuter can charge an EV, and a family can refuel their petrol SUV—all with minimal waiting time and digital convenience.
Conclusion: A Bold Step Toward the Future of Mobility
The Adani Total Gas and Jio-bp partnership represents a major milestone in India’s energy journey. It reimagines what a fuel station can be—not just a pit stop, but a hub of clean, efficient, and technology-driven energy solutions. With their combined scale, innovation, and infrastructure, the alliance is poised to reshape how millions of Indians fuel up—today and tomorrow.
