GreenLine Partners with Flipkart to Boost Sustainable Logistics
A significant partner of Essar in the initiative of Green Mobility is teaming up with Flipkart for sustainability in its logistic operations. Under this tie-up, GreenLine is bringing on its LNG trucks and further assisting Flipkart in curbing carbon emission through delivery processes. In the first step, GreenLine will deploy 25 LNG-powered trucks-fitted with 46-foot containers capable of carrying 110 cubic meters of cargo-each to transport goods through key regional routes of e-commerce customers.
The initial deployment will focus on transporting goods from the West to the North of India, with future plans to expand to additional routes covering North to South and West to South corridors.
GreenLine’s LNG fleet will complement Flipkart’s existing efforts, which also include the deployment of electric vehicle trucks to further reduce the carbon footprint of its logistics operations.
Recently, Flipkart also announced that it has achieved 10,000 EVs in its delivery fleet. The integration of LNG and EV vehicles is part of the company’s broader commitment towards minimising greenhouse gas emissions, and creating a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
Anand Mimani, CEO, GreenLine Mobility Solutions, said the partnership with Flipkart will enable India to go green and make logistics more sustainable, ensuring that every delivery contributes to a brighter, cleaner future for the nation.
Hemant Badri, SVP and Head of Supply Chain, Customer Experience & ReCommerce Business at Flipkart Group, said integrating LNG-powered vehicles into the company’s logistics operations alongside the existing electric vehicle fleet will improve supply chain efficiency and contribute to the country’s broader environmental objectives. “This collaboration highlights our continuous efforts to drive green innovation and support the long-term sustainability of our operations,” he added.
