Zomato Launches EV Rental Bike Fleet In Delhi

Zomato, India’s food ordering and delivery platform, launched an Electric Vehicle (EV) rental bike fleet in Delhi, facilitating two-wheeler EVs on rent to its delivery partners. This pilot phase introduces 300 EV bikes, designed to help delivery partners experience the benefits of using EVs for deliveries compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) bikes.

This initiative is a step towards Zomato’s climate-conscious delivery goals, where the company aims to facilitate 100 per cent EV-based food deliveries by 2030, leading to the goal of Net Zero emissions across its food ordering and delivery value chain by 2033. As of March 2025, Zomato had over 37,000 active EV-based food delivery partners. These partners have contributed to avoiding approximately 4,900 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (TCo2e) emissions, which equates to the environmental impact of planting an estimated 2,20,000 trees in FY25.

Speaking on the initiative, Anjalli Ravi Kumar, Chief Sustainability Officer, Eternal, said,  "Making sustainable mobility accessible to our delivery partners is critical to our mission of ‘better food for more people. For this to be achieved, it is imperative to build an ecosystem where all delivery partners have easy access to EV bikes suited to the demands of food delivery. Through the launch of these specially designed, efficient electric bikes on rent, we’re ensuring delivery partners can thrive while contributing to building a greener tomorrow.”

The company plans to initially ensure the availability of these EV bikes for rent for delivery partners in the Delhi-NCR region. It will expand the initiative to other parts of India based on uptake among partners. This initiative also aligns with the Government of NCT of Delhi’s intent to make Delhi the EV Capital of India.

Saroj Raout, a delivery partner onboarded on Zomato for two years, said, "Although I have been using my two-wheeler petrol bike to fulfill delivery orders, I have been wanting to switch to an EV for a while, knowing it’s sustainable for me financially and the planet at large. Now, with easy access to these affordable rental EVs, that’s finally a reality. It means I can reduce my running costs, potentially boost my earnings, and contribute to the planet.”
