Electric cabs find niche in Delhi’s green mobility push

Hindustan Times  

It is 4pm on a rainy Friday, and Reena Chauhan, dressed in sky-blue shirt and navy blue trousers, is waiting for a passenger in Connaught Place. In the past few years, several electric cab services—such as BluSmart, Plug Mobility, Evera, and eeeTaxi—have been launched in Delhi/ NCR. By the end of October, we will have a fleet of over 4,000 electric cars, and 25,000 cars by the end of 2023,” says Anmol Jaggi, co-founder and CEO of the company, whose ride-hailing services are currently available in south Delhi, Gurugram, and central Delhi. Rajiv Vij, a rental car industry veteran and managing director, Plug Mobility, has ambitious plans to induct 5,000 electric vehicles under the Plug Mobility initiative in the next one year, replacing his entire existing Carzonrent fleet with electric vehicles. “There is a need for EV manufacturers and cab operators to work closely together to achieve this.” Jaggi says electric cab companies will be driving EV adoption in the country.
