據道瓊斯7月10日消息，英國石油公司(BP)周四表示，該公司與信實工業公司（Reliance Industries ）組建了一家合資企業，在印度的燃料與移動市場開展業務。

這家英國石油巨頭表示，已向新的合資企業Reliance BP Mobility投資10億美元，取得49%股權，該公司經營的品牌名稱為Jio-bp。信實工業持有剩余51%股權。

該合資公司的提議最初是在去年8月提出的。

兩家公司預計，未來20年里印度將成為全球增長最快速的燃料市場，該國的乘用車數量預計在這段時間里增長將近六倍。

這家合資企業打算在未來五年里將目前逾1,400家零售點的成品油零售網絡增至多達5,500家，雇用人數預計從目前的2萬人增至最多8萬人。

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.
