Zomato has recently organised its EV Bazaar 2024 at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi, with the objective of the company's goal of achieving 100 percent electric deliveries by 2030.

The event, which was attended by Kailash Gahlot, Minister of Transport, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, focused on providing delivery partners with information about the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) and helping them make informed decisions based on their individual needs.

Key industry stakeholders, including EV two-wheeler manufacturers, fleet operators, charge point providers, and financing experts, participated in the event. Companies such as Quantum Energy, Kinetic Green, Bounce Infinity, Lectrix, Hero, TVS, Ola, Ampere, Battfit, Alt Mobility, Yulu, Zypp, Kadam Mobility, and Mooving Urban Technologies were present to share insights.

The EV Bazaar aligns with the Delhi EV Policy and the 2023 Motor Vehicle Aggregator and Delivery Service Provider Scheme. During the event, Zomato introduced its EV Portal, designed to enhance operational efficiency by enabling faster response times and vehicle allocation for EV deployment players. The portal allows EV deployers to connect with interested delivery partners, offer EV rentals, and manage their EV inventory.

Zomato also recognised top delivery partners who use EVs, with Kinetic Green and Quantum supporting two delivery partners by providing them with a free EV. Additionally, Zomato showcased EV-focused films to assist its delivery network in transitioning to electric vehicles.

“Kinetic Green is proud to partner with Zomato to make EVs more accessible to delivery partners. The Kinetic brand is well loved by Indian 2-wheeler riders and through events such as this EV Bazaar, we aim to showcase the benefits of our green scooter range, and especially our new e-Luna which is most suited as an ideal solution to the needs of the delivery partners, with its stylish and strong chassis, a lot of room and convenience for carrying goods and ample ground clearance for any terrain. We look forward to building this partnership and bringing green mobility to millions!”, said Ritesh Mantri, CEO, Kinetic Green.

Fateh Alam, Delivery Partner, Zomato, “I’ve been riding an EV since last December and found it to be very beneficial in terms of savings on fuel and maintenance. It’s also pollution-free. I’m glad to have been recognized for my choice and efforts as an EV Superstar by Zomato.”
