Nagarro, an Information Technology and Services company, has launched a fleet of electric vehicles for use by its employees in Delhi-NCR. The company teamed up with Lithium Urban Technologies, a company that provides EV cab services in India, to deploy the aforementioned electric vehicles fleet, which will include several units of the Mahindra eVerito.

Nagarro noted that it has undertaken a phased approach to ditching petrol, diesel, and CNG vehicles and adopting greener means of transportation in their stead. In the first phase, 20 per cent of the company's fleet will be moved to electric vehicles. By the end of this year, 50 per cent of its fleet in the Gurugram office will comprise electric vehicles. The company added that with this phase, it intends to help cut down 150MT of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually.

Manas Fuloria, chief executive officer, Nagarro said, "Gandhiji said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”. If we want cleaner skies in Delhi-NCR, we must embrace EVs aggressively. Since every new technology has teething issues, Nagarro has decided to adopt and incentivize adoption of EVs among our 5000 colleagues in Delhi-NCR."
