Ride-hailing giant Uber has announced a strategic partnership with Refex Green Mobility to deploy 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) across key Indian cities by 2026. The collaboration aligns with Uber’s global vision of achieving 100% emission-free rides by 2040, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

As part of the initiative, electric four-wheelers will be onboarded onto the Uber platform in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. Uber emphasized that this move is a crucial step in driving the adoption of sustainable mobility solutions in India.

“Uber is committed to accelerating the shift to zero-emission mobility in India, and this partnership with Refex eVeelz is a significant step in that direction,” said Aditya Kapoor, Head, Supply and Electrification, Uber India and South Asia. He further added, “The company remains focused on removing barriers to EV adoption and driving the transition to a greener future through partnerships to build a sustainable future for all.”

Refex Green Mobility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chennai-based Refex Industries Ltd, operates under the brand Refex eVeelz and has been actively working in the EV space. Speaking on the partnership, Sachin Navtosh Jha, Chief of Staff at Refex Group, said, “This collaboration, in addition to our currently existing B2B as well as B2C operations with nearly 1,300 company-owned 4-wheeler EVs will help us contribute to reducing urban carbon emissions and will also play a key role in achieving India’s broader sustainability goals.”

The move is expected to bolster India’s EV ecosystem, making sustainable transportation more accessible and reducing carbon emissions in urban areas. Uber has been actively working on expanding its EV fleet in India, forming multiple partnerships to enhance green mobility solutions.
