Mumbai, Nov 8 (PTI) Indian Oil Corporation on Wednesday said it has not entered into any collaboration with Okaya EV Chargers for installation of EV charging stations at the oil company's retail outlets.
"... Okaya is merely one of the vendors that have been awarded the job of supplying and installing EV chargers at select IndianOil Retail Outlets. There is no collaboration between Indian Oil and Okaya," Indian Oil said in a statement.
