Delhivery, India’s largest logistics service provider, has signed an MoU with Bajaj Auto Limited. Announced on the milestone occasion of Delhivery’s 15-year anniversary, as part of the MoU, Delhivery will deploy Bajaj Auto’s 1,500 cargo Three-Wheeler Electric Vehicles (3W EVs) across its last-mile delivery network, extending electrification to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The official fleet flag-off took place today at Bajaj Auto’s manufacturing and R&D campus in Akurdi, Pune.
The collaboration represents a significant step forward in the modernization of urban logistics, combining Bajaj Auto’s proven engineering expertise in electric mobility with Delhivery’s tech-led operational scale. By eliminating fossil fuel dependencies and lowering vehicle maintenance requirements, the deployment drastically reduces operating costs per kilometer. When combined with Delhivery’s automated route optimization, delivery partners can complete more drop-offs per trip. This operational efficiency translates directly into a sustainable, reliable increase in daily take-home earnings for last-mile delivery partners.
This deployment signals Delhivery’s commitment to fleet electrification, moving beyond Tier-1 metros into regional markets. Scaling this network to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities establishes a nationwide sustainable logistics footprint reaching India’s emerging consumer hubs
Beyond operational efficiencies, the transition to 3W EVs directly elevates the standards of driver welfare and safety in the gig economy. The newly deployed vehicles feature ergonomic seating, protecting delivery riders from extreme seasonal weather and reducing physical fatigue in heavy traffic. Furthermore, it allows delivery partners to transport larger, high-density payloads safely, securely, and with minimal physical strain.
From an environmental perspective, replacing internal combustion engines with electric power eliminates tailpipe emissions in highly congested municipal areas. This deployment supports Delhivery’s broader commitment to fleet electrification, actively reducing the company’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in line with its long-term environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets.
Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In-City Operations at Delhivery, said, “Our collaboration with Bajaj Auto addresses the economic well-being of our delivery partners while advancing both our environmental goals and those of our clients. By combining our intelligent routing systems with highly efficient cargo EVs, we are creating a more profitable model for our riders and offering our clients a cleaner, lower-carbon supply chain. Furthermore, this deployment across metros and emerging tier 2 and below markets ensures our last-mile network is physically safer, financially more rewarding, and supportive of shared ESG commitments.”
Samardeep Subandh, President, Intra-City Business at Bajaj Auto, added, “The commercial segment is crucial for driving large-scale clean mobility in India. Our cargo electric three-wheelers are engineered for heavy logistics schedules, superior uptime, and low operational costs. Partnering with Delhivery allows us to deploy these safe, driver-centric vehicles where they can make an immediate impact on transit networks and driver livelihoods across metros and emerging Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.”
Equipped with advanced battery management systems for extended urban range, the cargo EVs support consistent, all-day delivery schedules. This initiative highlights Delhivery and Bajaj Auto’s commitment to commercial efficiency, driver welfare, and environmental responsibility in logistics operations.
