Adani and Reliance Join Forces to Expand Fuel Access Across India

In a strategic move set to reshape India’s private fuel retail landscape, Adani Total Gas Ltd. (ATGL) and Jio-bp, the fuel retail arm of Reliance BP Mobility, have announced a new partnership that will see cross-distribution of fuels at each other’s outlets.

Announced on June 25, the collaboration aims to improve fuel availability and quality for consumers while leveraging the combined infrastructure and reach of both energy giants.

🔁 What’s the Deal?

  • Jio-bp’s premium petrol and diesel will now be available at select Adani fuel stations.
  • In return, Adani’s CNG will be dispensed at select Jio-bp outlets through ATGL’s units.
  • The partnership spans existing and upcoming fuel stations across India.

🗣️ Leadership Commentary

Suresh P Manglani, CEO of ATGL, said the alliance will enhance customer experience by utilizing each other’s infrastructure and extending product offerings.

Sarthak Behuria, Chairman of Jio-bp, highlighted that the collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies to deliver greater consumer value.

🛠️ Scale and Reach

  • ATGL, a joint venture of Adani Group and TotalEnergies (France), currently operates around 650 CNG stations, with a growing footprint in biogas, EV charging, and LNG for transport.
  • Jio-bp, backed by Reliance Industries and bp, runs ~2,000 fuel outlets across India and is focused on delivering cleaner energy solutions. Many stations also include convenience stores.

🔄 A Growing Partnership

This isn’t the first time Adani and Reliance have collaborated. In March 2025, Reliance Industries acquired a 26% stake in Adani Power’s Mahan Energen Ltd, signaling warming ties between the two conglomerates.

⛽ Industry Impact

India’s fuel retail market is dominated by public-sector giants like Indian Oil, BPCL, and HPCL, which together control nearly 90% of the 97,000 fuel stations in the country. This partnership between Adani and Reliance signals a strong private-sector challenge to the status quo—offering consumers more choice, higher quality fuel, and modern service experiences.


Conclusion:
With growing demand for diverse and cleaner fuel options, the Adani-Reliance partnership is a bold step toward reshaping India’s fuel retail ecosystem. For Indian motorists, it means more choices and better access—driven by innovation and private collaboration.
