How many oil-company petrol pumps in India have electric vehicle (EV) charging, and which states have the most?

The Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) Ready Reckoner lists 29,047 oil-company retail outlets with EV charging on 1 April 2026, out of 103,023 retail outlets. Uttar Pradesh has 3,274, Karnataka 2,568 and Maharashtra 2,528. It counts outlets, not chargers or power.

The national picture

Table 6.9, oil industry alternate fuel infrastructure at retail outlets as on 1 April 2026, gives for all India: 8,001 outlets with compressed natural gas (CNG), compressed biogas or liquefied natural gas, 29,047 with EV charging, 462 with auto liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and 33,888 with at least one alternate fuel. The chapter text says the same and gives 103,023 retail outlets in all, so EV charging is at 28.2 percent of outlets (29,047 / 103,023).

By region

• North 9,106, South 9,045, West 6,653, East 3,221, North East 1,022.
• Together 9,106 + 9,045 + 6,653 + 3,221 + 1,022 = 29,047, so the regions add up.

By state, highest first

• Uttar Pradesh 3,274 (11.3 percent of the total), Karnataka 2,568, Maharashtra 2,528, Tamil Nadu 2,437, Rajasthan 2,187.
• The top five hold 12,994 outlets, 44.7 percent.
• Then Gujarat 1,847, Madhya Pradesh 1,564, Andhra Pradesh 1,495, Telangana 1,383, Haryana 1,328, West Bengal 1,226, Punjab 1,182, Kerala 1,103.
• Thin spots: Delhi 333, Bihar 764, Assam 649, Ladakh 25, Mizoram 30, Sikkim 13, Lakshadweep 1.

What the table leaves out

• How many chargers an outlet has, their power, and whether a van or truck can get in. Check the outlet before you plan a route around it.
• The columns are not meant to add to the last column, because an outlet can have both CNG and EV charging (all India: 8,001 + 29,047 + 462 = 37,510 against 33,888, which is expected overlap). The real anomalies are rows where the at least one alternate fuel figure is smaller than one of its own columns: Jammu and Kashmir 218 against 232 for EV charging, Ladakh 23 against 25, Arunachal Pradesh 59 against 60, Mizoram 29 against 30 and Nagaland 52 against 53. Delhi is the other way: 706 sits above the 605 its three columns sum to (272 + 333 + 0), which overlap cannot explain. The table does not say why. Quote each column separately.
• It covers oil-company outlets only, not charging networks run by others.

If you charge on the road

Electricity bought at a public charger is a purchase from the charger operator. Keep the app statement or receipt with the kilowatt hours, because that is the activity figure for your records. Where the charger sits in Scope 1, 2 or 3 depends on who runs it and on your own accounting choice, which the EV fleet page here walks through.

Checking the shares

• Uttar Pradesh: 3,274 / 29,047 = 11.3 percent
• Top five states: 3,274 + 2,568 + 2,528 + 2,437 + 2,187 = 12,994; 12,994 / 29,047 = 44.7 percent
• EV charging outlets against all outlets: 29,047 / 103,023 = 28.2 percent

All counts are as printed in the PPAC Ready Reckoner 2025-26, Table 6.9 and chapter highlights.

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads fuel invoices and electricity bills into monthly records. A charger receipt that shows kilowatt hours can be kept with your records, but Senseible does not locate chargers or check their power.

• EV fleet charging: which scope
• Electric or LNG truck against diesel
• Electric against CNG three-wheeler
• Green loan for electric delivery vehicles

Last reviewed 2026-11-05. Counts are as printed in the PPAC Ready Reckoner 2025-26 (Table 6.9 and chapter highlights). Column overlap is expected, so the columns need not add to the last one; the rows where the last column is below one of its own columns (Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland) and Delhi's 706 above its 605 sum are as printed, and PPAC does not explain them.
