Jio-bp Introduces ACTIVE Technology Petrol for Cleaner Engines and Longer Drives

Jio-bp officially introduced its ACTIVE Technology Petrol at India Energy Week 2026 in Goa. The initiative was announced by Hon’ble Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri, on January 5, 2026, marking a significant step in bringing advanced fuel technology to Indians without needing to pay any additional cost.

What Is ACTIVE Technology Petrol?

ACTIVE Technology petrol is designed to go beyond basic engine protection. While this fuel prevents any new deposits from accumulating, it will also actively work to eliminate existing deposits on critical engine components. The accumulation of these deposits over time can restrict air flow into the combustion chamber, reduce the efficiency of combustion and make an overall engine run less smoothly. By cleaning them out gradually during normal driving, the fuel helps engines breathe better and perform closer to their original condition.

According to Jio-bp, this improved engine cleanliness can help 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers travel up to 100 km extra per year, based on typical Indian driving habits at no additional cost compared to regular petrol.

Real Benefits for Everyday Indian Drivers

The idea behind ACTIVE Technology petrol is rooted in practical, everyday use. Indian driving conditions often involve heavy traffic, frequent stop start movement, dust, heat and varied fuel standards. These factors accelerate deposit build up inside engines.

Key consumer benefits include:

• Removal of existing deposits from critical engine parts, leading to smoother operation.
• Strong clean up and performance when used regularly.
• The annual increase in driving distance is up to 100 km depending on how you drive.
• All E0 to E20 petrol blends compatibility aligns with India's changing fuel standards.

In simple terms, drivers can expect a cleaner engine and more reliable performance and improved fuel efficiency without any alteration in driving habits or additional cost.

Tested for Indian Roads, Not Just Global Labs

ACTIVE Technology petrol draws on over a century of fuel research from bp’s global expertise. However, its validation was done locally. The fuel was tested extensively on Indian engines, roads and climatic conditions.

At the Coimbatore test track, a commuter motorcycle was run for more than 3,000 km to scientifically evaluate engine clean up performance under real world conditions. The tests showed that removing deposits helped reverse their negative impact on smoothness, reliability and efficiency translating into measurable gains over a year of use.

Leadership Perspective

Jio-bp Chairman Sarthak Behuria highlighted that Indian drivers value simple outcomes, easy starts, smoother rides and better mileage from the same fuel spend. ACTIVE Technology petrol, he said, is about making advanced fuel performance a standard offering rather than a premium feature.

Jio-bp CEO Akshay Wadhwa added that the fuel has been engineered specifically for Indian realities. The company’s testing demonstrated not just initial clean up, but sustained “keep clean” performance, ensuring drivers continue to experience smoother rides and consistent engine response over time.

Technology on Display at India Energy Week

At the India Energy Week venue in Goa, Jio-bp showcased the test motorcycle used during development. Using advanced borescope imaging technology commonly used in medical diagnostics, visitors could visually compare engine components cleaned by ACTIVE Technology petrol versus those run on ordinary petrol. The display offered a rare inside look at how fuel chemistry directly affects engine health.

In addition to petrol, Jio-bp showcased their full range of mobility options beyond traditional fuels. Their range includes electric vehicle charging solutions, aviation turbine fuel and diesel delivery direct to doorstep. The display reinforced Jio-bp overarching commitment to provide greater value for every unit of energy consumed by customers and to support India's transition among various fuel sources and modes of transportation.

Conclusion

With the introduction of ACTIVE Technology petrol, Jio-bp is setting a new benchmark for mainstream fuels in India. Instead of positioning engine cleaning benefits as a premium add on, the company is making them part of the standard petrol experience. For everyday drivers, that means cleaner engines, steadier performance and a little more fuel efficiency without changing what they pay at the fuel stations.
