Flipkart to deploy over 2,000 electric vehicles in delivery fleet ahead of festive season. “These 2,000 electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers have been deployed across 90 cities in India and will help deliver smiles this festive season sustainably,” a statement said. Earlier this year, Flipkart had committed to deploying 25,000 EVs in its supply chain by 2030 towards its transition to 100 per cent fleet electrification as part of its collaboration with The Climate Group”s EV100 campaign. Flipkart Head – Sustainability and Social Responsibility Mahesh Pratap Singh said the festive season is about creating progressive value for all stakeholders. “…we are proud to uphold our promise to our customers to bring them a sustainable festive season with each order. The Flipkart teams have come together to ensure our delivery executives are delivering to thousands of pincodes across 90 cities in more than 2,000 electric vehicles,” he added.
Some of these cities include Bengaluru, Delhi/NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Waidhan, Hyderabad, Vidisha, Shajapur, Jhabua, Pune, Sonai, Mysore and Rampur. The homegrown e-commerce company also highlighted that it is going plastic-free for millions of packages. “After successfully eliminating single-use plastic in its own supply chain in July this year, more than 75 per cent of Flipkart”s seller fulfilled shipments are now being processed in sustainable packaging, marking a 20x increase over July 2020 covering more than 70 facilities across India,” the statement said.
