Noida, 2 June 2021: Reliance BP Mobility Limited (RBML), the Indian fuels and mobility joint venture between RIL and bp that operates under the ?Jio-bp? brand has started a program in collaboration with Reliance Foundation to provide fuel free of charge to COVID emergency ‎services vehicles across the country. In Noida, the company?s fuel stations are located outside the city limits, therefore in the effort to support and extend its scheme to the city?s ambulances deployed for COVID services, the company today flagged off a Mobile Fuel Bowser, which will be stationed at Office of City Magistrate, Sector 19.

Under the pan-India program kick-started earlier in May 2021, total of 811.07 KL fuel amounting to Rs 7.30 crores has been dispensed to 21,080 emergency vehicles in May 2021. The initiative is scheduled to run until ‎‎30 June (may be extended) and is expected to dispense 50 - 60 KL free fuel daily.

As part of the country wide initiative, the following vehicles will be able to fill up fuel without charge at the company?s network of about 1,421 retail outlets across India.

a - Government & hospital (including private hospitals) vehicles including ambulances used for movement of COVID 19 patients

b- Vehicles involved in the movement of medical oxygen- government and private

c- Vehicles authorized by Chief Minister?s Office for emergency duty for COVID care

With more than a year into the pandemic, it still continues to take a ‎heavy toll on our nation and its people. To support India in this time of need, through its latest initiative, RBML will use its resources and ‎reach across the country to support healthcare services and the people who are working ‎around the clock to keep us all safe.

While deploying Mobile Fuel Bowser, the company has ensured all necessary safety measures as per statutory guidelines.
