BluSmart partners with Tata Power to decarbonise EV charging stations
Electric ride-hailing company BluSmart has signed a multi-year power purchase agreement with Tata Power’s wholly-owned subsidiary Tata Power Trading Company Limited (TPTCL) to source green power from the electricity firm, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
As part of an endeavour to turn its operations completely zero-emission, BluSmart will source 30 megawatts of capacity from Tata Power’s 200 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Rajasthan’s Bikaner.
The mobility firm will use this to eliminate Scope 2 emissions while powering its existing 4,000 EV chargers across 35 hubs and any future additions to this infrastructure. The company has a fleet of close to 6,000 electric taxis that ply in Bengaluru and Delhi.
