BP与信实合资组建印度燃料合资公司

据道琼斯7月10日消息，英国石油公司(BP)周四表示，该公司与信实工业公司（Reliance Industries ）组建了一家合资企业，在印度的燃料与移动市场开展业务。

这家英国石油巨头表示，已向新的合资企业Reliance BP Mobility投资10亿美元，取得49%股权，该公司经营的品牌名称为Jio-bp。信实工业持有剩余51%股权。

该合资公司的提议最初是在去年8月提出的。

两家公司预计，未来20年里印度将成为全球增长最快速的燃料市场，该国的乘用车数量预计在这段时间里增长将近六倍。

这家合资企业打算在未来五年里将目前逾1,400家零售点的成品油零售网络增至多达5,500家，雇用人数预计从目前的2万人增至最多8万人。

BP Invests $1 Bln in Indian Fuels Joint Venture with Reliance Industries

BP PLC said Thursday that it has entered into a joint venture with Reliance Industries Ltd. to operate in India's fuels and mobility markets.

The U.K. oil major said it has invested $1 billion for a 49% stake in the new JV, Reliance BP Mobility Ltd., operating under the Jio-bp brand. Reliance has the remaining 51% interest.

The joint venture was originally proposed in August last year.

The two partners expect India to be the fastest-growing fuels market in the world over the next 20 years, with the number of passenger cars in the country estimated to increase almost sixfold in that time.

The joint venture will aim to expand from a current fuel retailing network of more than 1,400 retail sites to up to 5,500 over the next five years. It expects to employ up to 80,000 people, from 20,000 currently.
