ISA Logistics has introduced a strategic electric vehicle integration program to support India’s rapid growing changes towards sustainable commercial transport. This step aligns with estimates that India’s commercial EV market will grow at an annual rate of more than 40% through 2030, inspired by favorable policy changes and progress in battery technology.
Recent amendments to goods and service tax have reduced duties on electric vehicles and related components, while fame II (rapid adoption and construction of electric vehicles) continues to encourage electrification. Additionally, India’s public charging infrastructure has expanded to more than 2,500 stations across the country, which reduces earlier concerns around operational feasibility for commercial fleet.
The ISA logistics currently manages a fleet of trailers owned by 126 company with over 50 units operated through aggregator partnership. Their transport division takes advantage of the real -time tracking system to efficiently coordinate the cargo movement in many routes.
Suresh Suvarna, director of transport in ISA Logistics, said, “Integrating EVS into our fleet is not only a step towards environmental responsibility, but also a strategic business decision that ensures a permanent future for efficiency, cost-efficiency and our operation.”
The company cited the reduction in operational cost as an important factor in the decision. Electric vehicles can reduce fuel expenditure by 60 percent compared to diesel options, with simplified mechanical systems and low maintenance requirements due to regenerative braking techniques. The shift is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a journey of about 1.5 kg per kg.
ISA Logistics has planned a phased deployment with electric light-duty vans and last-meal delivery vehicles. The company said that this charging infrastructure would coordinate rollouts with availability and route adaptation studies.
Suvarna indicated that future plans include discovering artificial intelligence-driven root planning and partnering network operators to support extended electric fleet operations.
