Seamless Integration for EV Owners
Previously, electric vehicle owners had to manage multiple wallets from individual Charging Point Operators (CPOs). The new system enables direct top-ups through a single platform, making the process seamless, instant, and interoperable across all Bharat Connect partnered CPOs.
Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, Executive Director of Business Operations at Airtel Payments Bank, emphasized: “We are supporting India’s growing EV ecosystem while giving users a seamless, instant and secure way to recharge their wallets.”
Supporting India’s Green Mobility Revolution
Noopur Chaturvedi, CEO of NPCI Bharat BillPay Ltd., highlighted the partnership’s significance: “This category will play a crucial role in powering India’s EV adoption by making payments interoperable and convenient across platforms.”
The feature is available to all Airtel Thanks App users through Bharat Connect, ensuring convenience, security, and immediate fund access for EV charging needs. With over 5 lakh active banking points nationwide, Airtel Payments Bank continues expanding its digital banking solutions.
Digital Payments Infrastructure
This launch represents another step toward building future-ready digital payments infrastructure for green mobility. The BBPS platform’s interoperability eliminates the hassle of managing multiple payment wallets, streamlining the charging experience for EV owners across India.
