Delhivery, one of India’s leading integrated logistics service providers, has partnered with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to accelerate the adoption of electric commercial vehicles (eCVs) across its logistics network. Under the partnership, the company plans to deploy between 1,500 and 2,000 electric commercial vehicles over the next 12–18 months.
The initiative is part of Delhivery’s broader fleet electrification strategy, which aims to increase its electric commercial vehicle fleet to nearly 5,000 units within the next three years. The initial deployment will begin in Delhi-NCR before expanding to other cities across the country.
The collaboration will focus primarily on intra-city logistics operations involving vehicles that typically travel less than 200 kilometres per day. According to the company, this segment offers significant opportunities for electrification, as electric commercial vehicles are increasingly becoming competitive with conventional diesel-powered vehicles in terms of total cost of ownership.
Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to Supply Electric Vehicles
The partnership will bring together electric commercial vehicle offerings from three manufacturers to address different transportation and payload requirements within Delhivery’s logistics operations.
Under the agreement, Tata Motors will contribute its Tata Intra EV to the company’s electric fleet. Meanwhile, Euler Motors’ Turbo City Plus will be among the first vehicles deployed, catering to smaller commercial applications and urban delivery requirements.
The company also plans to introduce larger electric commercial vehicles in subsequent deployment phases to support logistics operations that require higher payload capacities.
Additionally, the collaboration with Montra Electric will focus on expanding the deployment of its EVIATOR electric commercial vehicle across the country. The initiative will build on the vehicle’s existing operations within Delhivery’s logistics network.
By combining vehicles from different manufacturers, Delhivery aims to develop an electric fleet capable of handling diverse intra-city transportation and delivery requirements.
Delhivery Targets 50% EV Adoption in Its Eligible Fleet
Delhivery currently operates electric vehicles across approximately 12–13% of its eligible intra-city fleet. The company aims to increase this share to more than 50% over the next two to three years.
Its longer-term objective is to achieve complete electrification of its intra-city fleet covering daily distances below 200 kilometres within the next four to five years.
To achieve these targets, Delhivery is working on improving the financial and operational feasibility of electric vehicle adoption among its logistics vendor partners. The company is also providing advance payments to vendors to support their transition towards electric commercial vehicles.
Charging Infrastructure to Support Fleet Electrification
Alongside vehicle deployment, Delhivery is investing in supporting infrastructure to make electric mobility more accessible for its logistics partners.
The company has started piloting charging facilities at its operational locations, beginning with Delhi-NCR. It plans to provide low-cost charging facilities and free parking to vendor partners, helping reduce the operational costs associated with electric vehicle adoption.
Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In City Operations at Delhivery, said that partnerships with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric would help the company expand its electric fleet across different vehicle categories without compromising operational efficiency.
He also highlighted that the charging facilities being piloted would make EV adoption easier and more affordable for vendor partners.
Electric Commercial Vehicles to Strengthen India’s Green Logistics Sector
Delhivery’s latest initiative highlights the growing role of electric commercial vehicles in India’s logistics and last-mile delivery ecosystem. With increasing demand for urban transportation and e-commerce deliveries, fleet electrification is becoming an important strategy for reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
The company is also focusing on network optimisation and improved vehicle utilisation to minimise unnecessary travel distances.
With plans to deploy up to 2,000 electric commercial vehicles in the near term and expand its fleet to nearly 5,000 units within three years, Delhivery’s partnership with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric represents another significant step towards accelerating electric mobility in India’s commercial transportation sector.
