Delhivery plans to deploy 1,500–2,000 electric commercial vehicles over the next 12–18 months, targeting nearly 5,000 EVs within three years. Delhivery Limited has partnered with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to deploy up to 2,000 four-wheeler electric commercial vehicles across its intra-city logistics network over the next 12–18 months. The initiative marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to accelerate fleet electrification and reduce the environmental impact of its logistics operations.
Announced on November 13, 2026, the collaboration will initially focus on Delhi-NCR, with plans to expand deployments across multiple cities. The company aims to put close to 5,000 electric commercial vehicles on the road within three years.
The initiative will primarily target intra-city vehicles covering less than 200 kilometres per day, where electric vehicles are increasingly becoming competitive with diesel vehicles in terms of total cost of ownership. The deployment will cover different small commercial vehicle categories, beginning with urban delivery vehicles and gradually expanding to higher-capacity electric vehicles for operations requiring larger payloads.
Currently, electric vehicles account for approximately 12–13% of Delhivery’s eligible intra-city fleet. The company aims to increase this share to more than 50% over the next two to three years and fully electrify its sub-200 km fleet within four to five years.
As part of the initiative, Delhivery is also investing in charging and parking infrastructure to encourage EV adoption among its vendor partners. The company is piloting charging facilities at its locations, starting with Delhi-NCR, and plans to provide low-cost charging and free parking to make the transition more accessible.
The collaboration will bring together electric commercial vehicle offerings from all three automotive partners. Tata Motors will supply its Tata Intra EV, while Euler Motors’ Turbo City Plus will be the first vehicle deployed for smaller commercial applications. Larger electric vehicles are expected to be introduced later for operations requiring higher payload capacity.
Meanwhile, the partnership with Montra Electric will support the expansion of EVIATOR deployments across the country, building on the vehicle’s existing performance within Delhivery’s logistics network.
Commenting on the development, Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In City Operations, Delhivery, said that scaling fleet electrification requires solutions that address the diverse operational requirements of its logistics network without compromising efficiency.
He added that partnerships with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric would help the company expand its electric fleet across different vehicle categories. The charging facilities being piloted are also expected to make EV adoption easier and more affordable for vendor partners.
Beyond fleet electrification, Delhivery is working on optimising network planning and vehicle utilisation to reduce unnecessary kilometres travelled. These efforts form part of its broader strategy to lower the environmental footprint of its logistics operations while maintaining operational efficiency and service reliability.
With the planned deployment of electric commercial vehicles and investments in supporting infrastructure, Delhivery is looking to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility across India’s intra-city logistics sector.
