Flipkart Expands Delivery Fleet to 20,000 Electric Vehicles

• More than 70% of grocery deliveries are now being made using electric vehicles, demonstrating the increasing adoption of EVs in both metro and Tier-2 cities.
• Flipkart has launched a pilot program for long-haul electric truck transportation on the Delhi-Jaipur route to assess the viability of EVs in freight logistics.

Bengaluru: Flipkart, India’s leading e-commerce platform, has achieved a significant milestone by expanding its electric vehicle fleet to over 20,000 vehicles, doubling its size from the previous year. This marks a major step forward in the company’s goal of achieving a 100% electric last-mile fleet by 2030. The growth is a result of Flipkart’s continued investments in sustainable logistics and its collaboration with partners in the EV ecosystem.

The expanded fleet operates in key cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Lucknow, and supports the company’s commitment to the EV100 initiative led by The Climate Group. In addition to this expansion, Flipkart has launched several programs to accelerate EV adoption, including a long-haul truck pilot, nationwide roadshows, digital training for delivery partners, and a data-driven approach to addressing adoption barriers.

Currently, over 70% of grocery deliveries on the Flipkart platform are being fulfilled using electric vehicles, demonstrating the reliability and effectiveness of EVs in high-density, high-frequency logistics while significantly reducing the platform’s operational carbon footprint.

Hemant Badri, Senior Vice President, Head of Minutes & Supply Chain, Customer Experience, and ReCommerce, Flipkart Group, said, “We are proud of our 20,000-strong electric vehicle fleet. At Flipkart, we are always innovating and pioneering new initiatives. A truly sustainable supply chain means innovating across every single leg. Our new electric truck pilot for long-haul routes is the next frontier. We are building for the future, proving that 100% electrification is possible from our fulfillment centers to the customer’s doorstep.”

Nishant Gupta, Head of Sustainability at Flipkart, said, “Our journey toward an all-electric logistics network is rooted in both scale and substance. Expanding our EV fleet is critical, and we believe that true progress lies in building an ecosystem that enables lasting adoption. From empowering our delivery partners with practical knowledge to collaborating with industry partners on infrastructure and product design, we are focused on removing real barriers to adoption and driving inclusive, long-term change. As this transition gains momentum, our responsibility is to ensure it remains equitable, accessible, and responsive to the needs of every stakeholder.”

Electric truck pilot launched to test long-haul EV feasibility

Flipkart has launched a pilot program for long-haul logistics in partnership with Golden Aero Logistics, which is part of the company’s efforts to explore EV viability beyond last-mile deliveries on the Delhi-Jaipur corridor using a retrofitted Kalyani electric truck. The pilot is designed to evaluate the operational feasibility of electric trucks in medium-distance freight, offering insights into vehicle performance, energy efficiency, and turnaround time.

EV100-led initiatives drive ecosystem-wide engagement and collaboration

To build awareness and drive confidence across its delivery network, Flipkart launched a nationwide EV Roadshow in collaboration with OEM partners Revolt and Bajaj. The initiative allowed delivery partners to test EV models, understand available charging options, and address common concerns around battery performance and range. In addition, Flipkart hosted targeted OEM x Last Mile Agencies (LMA) Connects in Delhi and Mumbai, bringing together manufacturers, fleet operators, and service providers for open, solutions-focused discussions on infrastructure, financing, and vehicle readiness, laying the foundation for stronger ecosystem alignment and future commitments.

Empowering delivery partners through digital learning and insight-led interventions

To support its workforce in the EV transition, Flipkart launched the Wishmaster Digital Campaign, an interactive learning platform designed to educate delivery partners on EV100 goals, vehicle operations, charging practices, and sustainability benefits. The campaign also addresses common misconceptions around EV performance across different terrains and conditions. The sentiment around EVs continues to grow positively among delivery partners, as observed in a survey conducted by Flipkart with over 5,410 delivery partners, with almost half of them keen to switch to EVs. Challenges like access to affordable credit, however, continue to remain a barrier.

These developments reflect Flipkart’s continued efforts to integrate sustainability across its operations while fostering industry-wide collaboration on clean mobility. As the organization deepens its focus on electric vehicles and ecosystem readiness, it remains committed to enabling long-term, inclusive solutions that support India’s transition to a greener supply chain.
