Blue Energy Motors (BEM) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) under the Government of India’s PARIVARTAN Scheme. The agreement was announced in New Delhi on 22 October 2026. BEM says it wants to support wider use of electric heavy-duty trucks in freight and logistics, giving fleet operators a route to zero-emission vehicles.
About the scheme
PARIVARTAN aims to replace ageing, high-emission commercial vehicles with cleaner ones in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). It focuses on older, high-emission trucks and buses, with the goal of cutting transport pollution and improving air quality.
BEM’s track record
The company reports the following figures:
- more than 1,400 green heavy-duty trucks on key freight routes in India, running on electric and liquefied natural gas (LNG) powertrains
- over 150 million green kilometres covered
- more than 44,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions reduced, which BEM equates to about 1.8 million trees’ worth of carbon absorption
Management view
Anirudh Bhuwalka, Founder and Managing Director of BEM, called the scheme an important step towards faster adoption of cleaner freight mobility in India. He said policy support, advanced vehicle technology and a strong domestic manufacturing ecosystem can help India move towards zero-emission freight.
Why it matters for logistics
Heavy trucks carry most of India’s road freight, including containers moving to and from ports, so shifting even part of the fleet to electric and LNG power matters for both emissions and operating costs. The NCR is a major freight destination and a pollution hotspot, which makes it a logical place for the scheme. The agreement does not set out terms, incentive amounts or deployment timelines. Wider adoption will depend on charging infrastructure, operating costs and vehicle availability.
