Delhivery to deploy up to 2,000 electric vehicles with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric

Summary

Delhivery has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to deploy 1,500–2,000 electric commercial vehicles across its intra-city logistics network over the next 12–18 months. The rollout will begin in Delhi-NCR and support the company’s target of operating nearly 5,000 electric commercial vehicles within three years. Delhivery also aims to fully electrify its intra-city fleet of vehicles covering less than 200 km per day within four to five years.

Delhivery has entered into partnerships with Tata Motors, Euler Motors and Montra Electric to expand the use of electric commercial vehicles across its intra-city logistics operations, with plans to deploy up to 2,000 vehicles over the next 12–18 months.

Under the agreements, the logistics company will introduce between 1,500 and 2,000 four-wheeler electric commercial vehicles across multiple vehicle categories. The deployment will begin in Delhi-NCR before expanding to other locations, with additional higher-capacity vehicles planned to meet the requirements of operations involving larger payloads.

The initiative forms part of Delhivery’s broader fleet electrification strategy, which targets the deployment of nearly 5,000 electric commercial vehicles within three years. The company is prioritising intra-city routes, particularly those involving daily distances of less than 200 km, where electric vehicles are becoming increasingly competitive with diesel-powered vehicles in terms of total cost of ownership.

Electric vehicles currently account for approximately 12–13% of Delhivery’s eligible intra-city fleet. The company intends to increase this share to more than 50% over the next two to three years, before moving towards complete electrification of its sub-200 km fleet within four to five years.

The vehicle deployment will involve different models from the three manufacturing partners. Tata Motors will supply its Tata Intra EV, while Euler Motors will initially provide its Turbo City Plus for smaller commercial delivery operations. Delhivery plans to introduce larger electric commercial vehicles subsequently to support transportation requirements involving heavier loads.

Montra Electric will support the expansion of its EVIATOR electric commercial vehicles across Delhivery’s operations. The model is already being used within the company’s logistics network, and the partnership is expected to extend its deployment to additional locations.

Alongside vehicle procurement, Delhivery is developing charging and parking infrastructure to support the planned expansion. The company has started piloting charging facilities at its operational locations, beginning with Delhi-NCR. It also plans to offer low-cost charging and free parking facilities to vendor partners to reduce the operational barriers associated with EV adoption.

The company is also making advance payments to vendors to facilitate the transition to electric vehicles. These measures are intended to support fleet operators while addressing infrastructure and investment requirements associated with replacing conventional commercial vehicles.

Beyond electrification, Delhivery is focusing on network optimisation and improved vehicle utilisation to reduce unnecessary travel distances and operational emissions.

“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 planned deployment represents a further step in Delhivery’s transition towards an electric intra-city logistics fleet, combining vehicle procurement with charging infrastructure development and operational changes to meet its longer-term electrification targets.
