Delhivery Limited has announced a strategic partnership with RIDEV, operated by ANV Web Ventures Pvt Ltd, to deploy 150 high-performance electric vehicles (EVs) as part of its accelerated push toward fleet electrification. The rollout, scheduled over the next three months, will cover key markets including North East India, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, reinforcing the company’s commitment to scaling green logistics across urban and regional delivery networks.

The collaboration introduces an “EV-as-a-Service” leasing model tailored to support last-mile delivery partners. By removing the burden of high upfront investment and reducing technical complexities associated with EV ownership, the structure is designed to make electric mobility financially viable and operationally seamless for gig workers. The initiative is expected to improve rider earnings potential while supporting Delhivery’s broader sustainability goals.

Delhivery has already integrated close to 1,000 electric two-, three-, and four-wheelers into its operations in recent years. This latest deployment signals a shift from pilot-based testing to a more structured, nationwide replacement of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. A recent pilot conducted in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru demonstrated measurable impact, reducing 4,260 kg of CO2 emissions while lowering daily operational costs for riders by more than 50%. These results underline the economic and environmental advantages of electrifying last-mile logistics.

The company is now advancing toward systematic decarbonisation of its urban delivery network. Following the current rollout, phased expansion is planned in major logistics hubs such as Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Goa. The long-term objective is to eliminate tailpipe emissions from last-mile operations while aligning with India’s PM E-DRIVE goals for cleaner transportation.
