• Over 70% of grocery deliveries are now fulfilled via electric vehicles, reflecting increased fleet penetration across metro and Tier-2+ cities
  • Flipkart has also launched a long-haul electric truck pilot on the Delhi–Jaipur corridor to assess EV viability in freight logistics

Bengaluru : Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has achieved a new milestone with the expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) fleet to over 20,000, doubling its deployment from the previous year. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s journey toward achieving a 100% electric last-mile fleet by 2030. The growth reflects Flipkart’s sustained investments in sustainable logistics and its deepening collaboration with partners across the EV ecosystem.

The expanded fleet now operates across key metro and Tier-2+ cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Lucknow. It supports the organisation’s broader commitment to the EV100 initiative led by The Climate Group. In parallel with this scale-up, Flipkart has launched a series of programmes to accelerate further EV adoption, including a long-haul truck pilot, pan-India 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 fulfilled using EVs, demonstrating the vehicles’ reliability in high-density, high-frequency logistics while meaningfully 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 incredibly proud of our 20,000-EV strong last-mile fleet. At Flipkart, we are always pioneering what’s next. 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 all the way 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 true progress lies in building an ecosystem that enables lasting adoption. From empowering our wishmasters 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

The pilot programme for long-haul logistics, in partnership with Golden Aero Logistics, is a part of Flipkart’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

Further, to build awareness and drive confidence across its delivery network, Flipkart launched a nationwide EV Roadshow in collaboration with OEM partners Revolt and Bajaj. Held across multiple cities, the initiative allowed wishmasters 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 wishmasters 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 wishmasters, as observed in a survey conducted by Flipkart with over 5,410 wishmasters, 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 organisation 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.
