This deployment is the first phase of the partnership, with phase 2 planned for 2026 – 2027, totaling approximately 1500 Bajaj electric three-wheelers (L3 & L5). The official flag-off took place today at Bajaj Auto, in Akurdi, Pune, the company said in a statement.

Equipped with an efficient Electric Powertrain, a 2 speed automatic transmission and low maintenance costs, the Bajaj Riki C4005 (eCart) significantly reduces operating costs per kilometer while providing excellent load-ability, it added.

“By combining our intelligent routing systems with highly efficient cargo EVs, we are creating a more profitable model for our riders and offering our clients a cleaner, lower-carbon supply chain. Furthermore, this deployment across metros and emerging tier 2 and below markets ensures our last-mile network is physically safer, financially more rewarding, and supportive of shared ESG commitments,” Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In-City Operations at Delhivery, said.

“This partnership with Delhivery has the potential of transforming last mile cargo transport, with Delhivery’s scale and technology and Bajaj Auto’s expertise in 3-wheeler electric mobility. With this partnership we are launching the Bajaj Riki C4005 (eCart),” Samardeep Subandh, President, Intra-City Business at Bajaj Auto, said.

Bajaj Riki C4005 offers 100+ kms of range on a single charge, excellent reliability and durability along with better comfort and ergonomics for drivers. Partnering with Delhivery has the potential to make an impact on last mile logistics not only across metros but also Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, he added.
