Paradeep Parivahan Limited has filed a regulatory disclosure under SEBI Regulation 30 regarding a press release announcement. The company, in collaboration with Energy In Motion (EIM), has commenced deployment of approximately 45 EIM Ashwa 4x2, 55-tonne electric heavy-duty tractor trailers for UltraTech Cement Limited, described as the world's largest cement company outside China.
The deployment involves transportation of clinker from UltraTech's integrated manufacturing unit in Rajasthan to its grinding units in the Delhi-NCR region. This represents one of the largest deployments of electric heavy-duty trucks in the cement sector in Northern India and marks a significant milestone in India's transition toward zero-emission long-haul freight transportation.
Operational Details
The operational corridor spans three states: Rajasthan, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, with an average lead distance of approximately 250 kilometers. The deployment demonstrates growing commercial viability of electric heavy-duty vehicles for demanding long-distance logistics operations.
Environmental Impact
The fleet is projected to reduce over 8,900 tons of CO2 emissions annually, displacing an equivalent of about 2.9 million litres of diesel per year. The initiative is expected to contribute meaningfully to cleaner logistics operations while supporting national sustainability, import substitution, and carbon reduction objectives.
Business Model
Energy In Motion operates under the "Maitryi" model, which offers battery packs and charging/swapping services as a package, allowing logistics service partners to focus on fleet management and customer service. This model reduces upfront vehicle cost by approximately 40% per vehicle and involves building common heavy-duty charging/battery swapping infrastructure on key routes.
Leadership Commentary
Narendra Murkumbi, co-founder and Managing Director of Energy In Motion Ltd., stated that the NCR region is a focus area due to the national priority of reducing pollution around the capital city and the high awareness and willingness of local heavy industry and fleet operators to switch to zero-emission solutions.
Dr. Khalid Khan, CMD & CEO of Paradeep Parivahan Limited, described this project as a defining moment for India's logistics industry, representing the first meaningful scale deployment of electric heavy-duty trucks on a long-haul, high-utilization industrial corridor spanning multiple states.
