Saera Electric and Porter partner to enhance EV logistics in India • EVreporter

Saera Electric Auto Limited, known for e-rickshaw “Mayuri,” has partnered with Porter, an on-demand logistics platform, to deliver L3 and L5 e-Carts. The pilot project will launch in Delhi and Bangalore, targeting an initial delivery of 500 vehicles per month in each city, aimed at providing eco-friendly delivery options.

This collaboration will expand Porter’s user base and address the demand for small-sized, sustainable transportation solutions. The rising need for efficient delivery services in Bangalore has prompted the companies to work together to potentially increase the initial fleet from 500 to 1,000 vehicles per month in each city. Additionally, incorporating electric vehicles into Porter’s fleet is expected to enhance its service offerings.

The partnership is anticipated to create job opportunities for drivers and logistics professionals, with a guaranteed minimum daily income of ₹1,100 and the potential to earn up to ₹4,000 per day as Porter riders using Mayuri e-Carts. The agreement also includes coverage of vehicle EMIs for riders, promoting stable employment. Furthermore, the initiative is expected to contribute to improved air quality and reduced carbon emissions, aligning with India’s sustainability objectives.

Elated on the occasion, Nitin Kapoor, Managing Director, Saera Electric Auto Limited, said, “We are happy to partner with one of the leading companies in India providing logistics services to people across cities. With this, we aim to capture the Bangalore market and showcase Mayuri’s expertise offering a diverse range of commercial utility vehicles designed for both short-distance quick commerce and intra-city delivery operations. Our e-Loaders and e-Delivery Vans are designed to meet the growing demand for efficient, eco-friendly transportation solutions. Moreover, this reflects our commitment to providing eco-friendly and technologically advanced vehicles that cater to the needs of Indian consumers. We will continue to work towards meeting the needs and demands of our customers.”
