Zen Mobility and Delhivery Limited have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), thereby formalising a long-term partnership to deploy purpose-built electric vehicles (EVs) across India over the next three to five years. Notably, this agreement strengthens a collaboration that began over two years ago and has already demonstrated strong operational results.
Currently, around 500 Zen-built EVs operate within Delhivery’s logistics network, delivering up to a 35% reduction in last-mile logistics costs while maintaining an impressive 90–95%+ vehicle uptime in live commercial operations. Furthermore, both companies plan to scale the deployment significantly, with thousands of additional EVs expected to join the fleet in the coming years.
As part of the partnership, the rollout will include electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. Zen Mobility will design, engineer, and manufacture all vehicles entirely in India, ensuring full localisation and alignment with the “Make in India” initiative. Additionally, the company will customise these EVs to meet Delhivery’s city-wise and route-wise requirements across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities, thereby optimising operational efficiency across diverse geographies.
Moreover, Zen Mobility’s fleet leasing arm, Zen Flo, will support the deployment and ongoing fleet operations, ensuring seamless integration and scalability. As the partnership expands, both companies expect the initiative to eliminate tens of thousands of tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, making it one of the most impactful green logistics and sustainable mobility initiatives in India.
“This MoU is a strong validation of Zen Mobility’s purpose-built approach. Together, we are scaling a new category of EVs that delivers real cost savings, operational reliability, and measurable sustainability impact across India,” said Namit Jain, Founder & CEO, Zen Mobility.
“We don’t view electrification as just a fleet update; it is a core part of how we are making our last-mile operations more efficient and sustainable,” said Prashant Gazipur, Senior Vice President of Last Mile Operations, Delhivery. “Our partnership with Zen Mobility ensures our delivery partners have access to reliable vehicles that are easy to operate and maintain. By reducing daily running costs, we are improving the earning potential of our riders while building a more resilient network. At the same time, this initiative helps our enterprise customers reach their own ESG targets and satisfy the sustainability requirements of their stakeholders by providing them with a cleaner, lower-carbon delivery option,” added Prashant.
Zen Mobility and Delhivery continue to accelerate India’s transition toward electric mobility and sustainable logistics through this strategic partnership. By combining cost efficiency, high vehicle uptime, and environmental impact, the collaboration sets a strong benchmark for EV adoption in last-mile delivery. Consequently, as the rollout expands nationwide, the initiative will not only strengthen logistics infrastructure but also contribute significantly to India’s broader ESG and decarbonisation goals.
