Nod for Zomato’s Rs8,250-cr IPO
Food delivery platform Zomato, which plans to list in the public markets in India this year, has said it will adopt electric vehicles for 100% of its fleet by 2030, in a bid to build a more sustainable company.
Zomato said it is already actively working with a few EV players to design pilots and create business models that could facilitate a faster transition towards a viable mobility solution for deliveries.
In a blog post on June 5th, 2021, Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal said the company has partnered with the Climate Group's global electric mobiliy initiative, EV100, with EVs already being used in cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
'The current EV fleet is a small fraction of the active fleet of delivery partners, and we understand that getting to 100% adoption of EVs will not be easy, but is essential in the long run' Goyal said in the blog.
