Delhivery has partnered with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to deploy up to 2,000 electric commercial vehicles across its intra-city logistics operations over the next 12–18 months, as the logistics company expands its fleet electrification programme.

The company has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the three manufacturers for the deployment of 1,500–2,000 four-wheeler electric commercial vehicles. The rollout will begin in Delhi-NCR and cover multiple small commercial vehicle categories, with plans to introduce higher-capacity electric vehicles for operations requiring larger payloads.

The deployment is part of Delhivery’s target to bring close to 5,000 electric commercial vehicles into operation within three years. The company is focusing on its intra-city fleet, particularly vehicles covering less than 200 km per day, where electric vehicles are increasingly becoming competitive with diesel-powered alternatives in terms of total cost of ownership.

Currently, electric vehicles account for approximately 12–13% of Delhivery’s eligible intra-city fleet. The company aims to increase this proportion to more than 50% over the next two to three years, with the longer-term objective of fully electrifying its sub-200 km fleet within four to five years.

Under the partnership, Tata Motors will supply its Tata Intra EV, while Euler Motors will initially deploy its Turbo City Plus for smaller commercial delivery requirements. Delhivery plans to introduce larger electric commercial vehicles at a later stage to support operations involving heavier payloads.

The collaboration with Montra Electric will focus on expanding the deployment of its EVIATOR electric commercial vehicles across the country, building on their existing use within Delhivery’s logistics network.

Alongside vehicle procurement, Delhivery is investing in charging and parking infrastructure to support the transition. The company is piloting charging facilities at its operational locations, beginning with Delhi-NCR, and plans to provide low-cost charging and free parking to its vendor partners. It is also making advance payments to vendors to facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles.

The fleet transition forms part of the company’s broader efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its logistics operations. Delhivery is also working on network optimisation and improved vehicle utilisation to minimise unnecessary travel distances.

“Scaling fleet electrification means finding solutions that work across the diverse needs of our network without compromising operational efficiency. Partnering with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric lets us expand our electric fleet across vehicle categories. The charging facilities we are piloting will make EV adoption easier and more affordable for our vendor partners,” said Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In City Operations, Delhivery.

The company expects the combination of electric vehicle deployment, charging infrastructure and network optimisation to support its electrification targets while maintaining operational efficiency across its intra-city logistics network.
