The company says that its EV fleet has doubled over the past year, crossing 20,000 vehicles during the festive season in 2025
Flipkart, India’s homegrown ecommerce marketplace, has recently introduced EV Assist, a digital marketplace designed to simplify access to electric vehicles (EVs) for its delivery executives, Wishmasters. The service is currently available for Flipkart Minutes’ riders across over 20 cities.
The company said that its EV fleet has doubled over the past year, crossing 20,000 vehicles during the festive season in 2025. The company’s long-term ambition is to achieve 100 per cent electric mobility by 2030. Since its introduction, EV Assist has seen strong interest from Wishmasters across India, with Delhi NCR, Patna, and Bengaluru emerging as leading markets.
“India’s transition to electric mobility will ultimately be driven by how easy and affordable we make adoption for millions of people. Flipkart, with one of the country’s largest last-mile delivery networks, is well-placed to support this transition. And supporting it meaningfully means building the ground-level systems that make EV adoption practical and accessible,” stated Rajneesh Kumar, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Flipkart Group.
Flipkart’s recent study, based on insights from over 6,000 delivery partners, found that nearly 46 per cent are willing to transition to electric mobility, but financing access, charging infrastructure and ecosystem confidence remain the primary barriers.
The study also found that nearly 90 per cent of surveyed delivery partners spend between Rs 2,000 and Rs 5,000 per month on petrol. At the same time, industry estimates suggest electric two-wheelers can reduce fuel and energy costs by up to 70 to 80 per cent, while lower maintenance requirements can contribute to a 15 to 20 per cent improvement in delivery partner income, the company added.
Through EV Assist, Wishmasters can discover electric two-wheeler rental options based on their city and weekly budget. The company explained that they can compare available options across budget ranges from below Rs 1,000 to above Rs 2,000 per week.
