Delhivery to deploy 200 Bajaj RIKI e-carts for last-mile deliveries

Delhivery and Bajaj Auto have entered into an agreement to deploy 200 Bajaj RIKI eCarts across Delhivery’s last-mile delivery network, including in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The deployment was flagged off at Bajaj Auto’s facility in Akurdi, Pune.

This deployment marks the first phase of the partnership, with a second phase planned for 2026–27 that aims to deploy around 1,500 Bajaj electric three-wheelers across the L3 and L5 categories.

The Bajaj RIKI C4005 (eCart) is equipped with an electric powertrain, a two-speed automatic transmission, and has a claimed driving range of more than 100 km on a single charge.

Under the partnership, Delhivery will integrate Bajaj RIKI eCarts into its last-mile delivery network. The electric cargo vehicles are intended for cargo transportation and feature an electric powertrain with lower maintenance requirements. Delhivery said the deployment, along with its route optimisation system, is expected to improve delivery efficiency while reducing operating costs.

Prashant Gazipur, Chief Operating Officer, In-City Operations at Delhivery, said, “Our collaboration with Bajaj Auto addresses the economic well-being of our delivery partners while advancing both our environmental goals and those of our clients. 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.”

Samardeep Subandh, President, Intra-City Business at Bajaj Auto, added, “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). The 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.”

According to Delhivery, the deployment is intended to support the earnings and working conditions of delivery partners while contributing to the company’s fleet electrification and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.

The companies said the vehicles feature enclosed cabins, ergonomic seating, and battery management systems, and are designed to carry larger cargo loads compared to two-wheelers. The company added that replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles can help reduce tailpipe emissions during last-mile delivery operations and support daily urban delivery schedules.

Delhivery provides logistics services across express parcel transportation, freight, warehousing, supply chain solutions, and software services. Bajaj Auto manufactures motorcycles and three-wheelers, including electric vehicles.
