E-commerce, FMCG demand for electric vehicles doubles in FY24

In an effort to reduce costs and meet carbon emission targets, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has seen an uptick among e-commerce firms and consumer goods manufacturers compared to last year, according to a report by The Economic Times.

Companies like Flipkart, BigBasket, Bisleri, Zomato, Amul, Amazon, Hindustan Unilever, Swiggy, and Coca-Cola are among those transitioning to EVs. Jayen Mehta, managing director of India’s largest dairy producer, Amul, mentioned that the company’s milk distributors are already utilising EVs in regions like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab. Amul has also initiated using electric vehicles for last-mile ice cream deliveries.
