365telugu.com online news,New Delhi, December 17, 2025: Airtel Payments Bank, in collaboration with NPCI Bharat BillPay Limited (NBBL), has announced the integration of EV Wallet Recharges onto the Bharat Connect (formerly BBPS) platform.

This feature, now live on the Airtel Thanks app, aims to streamline the payment process for India’s rapidly growing electric vehicle (EV) community.

Solving Fragmented Payments for EV Owners

Users can now manage their charging funds through a single, secure interface regardless of the operator.

How to Recharge via Airtel Thanks App
The process is designed to be completed in a few simple steps:

Login: Open the Airtel Thanks App.

Select Service: Navigate to ‘Pay Bills’ and select “Recharge EV.”

Details: Enter the registered mobile number and the desired recharge amount.

Payment: Confirm and pay securely via Bharat Connect-enabled methods.

Instant Credit: The balance reflects immediately in the user’s EV wallet.
