Uber Technologies will introduce 25,000 EVs over three years for ride-sharing in India amid an Indian government push for greater electrification of public transport and shared mobility.
BluSmart, an electric mobility start-up and Uber’s local rival, has taken the lead in India's electric taxi space.
Uber's fleet partners will buy the EVs from Tata Motors, India's biggest electric carmaker.
Prabhjeet Singh, president of Uber India and South Asia, said multiple factors need to come together for electric ride-hailing to take off, such as the availability of affordable vehicles with a long-range, a matured financing ecosystem, and widespread charging infrastructure.
Singh added that they believe there are early signs of those factors coming together.
Uber has a current overall active fleet of 300,000 vehicles in India.
Uber has set a 2040 target for 100 percent of its rides to be in zero-emission vehicles, including in India.
