Know More

Energy-as-a-service company Yuma Energy (Yuma), a joint venture between Magna and Yulu, has collaborated with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) to inaugurate a new battery swapping station at Siri Fort Auditorium in Delhi, to promote the adoption of electric two-wheelers for personal and last-mile deliveries in Delhi.

As part of this partnership, Yuma Energy will establish battery-swapping stations across Delhi to support the growing e-mobility ecosystem in the city. With over 120 Yuma Stations spanning Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai, the company currently facilitates over half a million swaps and serves approximately 125,000 customers monthly, said an official statement.

Muthu Subramanian, Managing Director and General Manager at Yuma Energy said, “We thank MCD and BRPL for their ongoing support in helping accelerate electric mobility in the Delhi region. We look forward to working together as MCD and BRPL advance their green-mobility initiatives, and we continue to grow Yuma’s footprint in Delhi.”

“MCD is making an all-out effort to create an optimal e-mobility eco-system in Delhi through the establishment of EV battery swapping stations and EV charging stations. The inauguration of a battery swapping station at Siri Fort Auditorium by Yuma Energy, an EV charging infra partner of BRPL, will help augment EV transportation in Delhi. We hope Yuma will bestow a great EV charging experience to the citizens of Delhi through their state-of-art EV charging infrastructure,” said Sh. Amit Kumar, Deputy Commissioner, MCD.

“BSES is leading the efforts in putting up e-vehicle infrastructure in Delhi. This partnership to set-up battery swapping stations in the national capital is the latest testimonial in these efforts. We will continue to drive innovation along with like-minded partners to make Delhi the EV capital of India.,” said Sh. Sanjeev Gupta, Senior VP, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited.

While Yuma Energy’s current focus is on supplying Yulu’s e-bike fleet through their swap stations, the company also aims to collaborate with additional original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and e-mobility operators. This expansion is aimed at providing accessible and cost-effective mobility options to consumers while maintaining short swap times, added the company statement.
