Blue Energy Motors (BEM) has announced that the company, in partnership with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), has operationalised Bhiwandi’s first battery-swap station for electric heavy-duty trucks.
 
Located in one of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s key logistics and warehousing hubs, the facility strengthens the infrastructure supporting the adoption of electric heavy-duty trucks and extends the Mumbai–Pune Electric Freight Corridor, launched by Blue Energy Motors in October 2025, the company stated.
 
It further added that the station enables battery swapping for BEM’s electric heavy-duty trucks in less than five minutes, helping minimise charging downtime and improve fleet utilisation. By addressing a critical operational requirement in electric freight, the facility brings greater convenience and efficiency to commercial vehicle operations.
 
Beyond electric trucking, the facility integrates battery-swapping infrastructure with an EV charging station accessible to the public. The charging infrastructure will cater to electric two-wheelers, four-wheelers and commercial vehicles, extending its relevance beyond freight and creating a multi-segment EV energy hub within HPCL’s established retail network.
 
Commenting on the development, Anand Mimani, CEO – EV and New Energy Business, Blue Energy Motors, said, “Our focus at Blue Energy Motors is on making electric freight a practical and scalable reality in India. Our partnership with HPCL brings together our strengths to build the energy infrastructure needed to support this transition. Bhiwandi, with its strong freight and logistics activity, is an important market for us. This first facility is a meaningful step forward, and we look forward to expanding our network of battery-swapping and charging facilities across key markets, supporting electric trucking and serving the wider EV ecosystem.”
 
By combining rapid battery swapping for heavy-duty trucks with public charging facilities, the initiative addresses the distinct energy requirements of commercial freight as well as other electric vehicle users, the company asserted.
 
Blue Energy Motors is advancing green freight mobility through its electric and LNG-powered heavy-duty truck solutions. With over 1,400 green heavy-duty trucks operating across key freight routes in India, the company has crossed 150 million green kilometres on Indian roads, helping reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 44,000 tonnes – equivalent to the carbon absorption of approximately 1.8 million trees, the company said.
