Delhivery just announced a big move: it is planning to expand its intracity fleet to nearly 20,000 vehicles over the next four to five years, with EVs as the only option for new additions.
The company's putting in ₹80 to ₹100 crore to build charging stations, parking spots, and financial support for fleet partners.
Right now, it runs about 12,000 to 13,000 vehicles and expects steady growth as it switches to EVs only.
Prashant Gazipur: energy costs 30% lower
Rising fuel and labor costs pushed Delhivery toward EVs.
While electric vehicles cost more upfront than CNG or diesel ones, Prashant Gazipur (COO of in-city operations) shared that energy costs are about 30% lower per kilometer.
Even with pricier tires due to battery weight, he says running small EVs is now just as affordable.
