As e-Commerce continues to grow, last mile delivery has become a vital link in the logistics chain, connecting goods from distribution centers to consumers' doorsteps. This final leg of delivery presents unique challenges, including high costs and operational complexity, especially as quick-commerce gains prominence. The demand for faster, reliable service has never been higher, pushing logistics companies to innovate and optimize.

Amid these shifts, Indus Green has emerged as a leader, addressing the challenges of last-mile logistics with cutting-edge solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Indus Green's transformation of urban logistics rests on three foundational pillars, a high-performing fleet of electric vehicles, robust charging infrastructure, and a technology platform that ensures smooth and efficient delivery services. Together, these elements create a powerful logistics engine that meets client needs while addressing critical environmental concerns.

“Our journey is shaped by years of experience in electric vehicles and infrastructure development. I’ve worked with leading EV OEM in the cargo segment and led last-mile delivery operations across several startups. My co-founder, Jayant, brings extensive expertise in renewable energy and infrastructure asset development across India and South Asia. Recognizing the shift towards clean technology, we saw a significant gap in the fragmented freight
market. No dominant EV player existed at the national level, which presented a massive opportunity to create and scale a tech-enabled EV logistics solution, focused on mid and last-mile delivery”, says Ketan Ray, COO & Co Founder, Indus Green.

Optimizing Last-Mile Delivery

Last-mile delivery, the final step in the logistics process where goods are delivered to the customer’s door, is a notoriously challenging aspect of logistics. Fraught with uncertainties and a high rate of failure, it’s expensive, time-consuming, and contributes significantly to urban pollution. Indus Green addresses these challenges head-on, offering solutions that combine the low operational costs of electric vehicles (EVs) with a dependable and responsive service. Thanks to the significantly lower running and maintenance costs of EVs compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, Indus Green provides its delivery services at extremely competitive rates. Some clients have reported cost reductions of up to 30 percent per delivery, a game-changer in an industry where margins are often razor-thin.

Strategies for Sustainable Growth

Indus Green operates in a highly competitive environment, where last-mile delivery fleet operators face constant margin pressure and limited pricing power. Large brands are increasingly focused on profitability, pushing logistics providers to streamline operations and control costs. In this landscape, success is defined by operational efficiency and maximizing asset utilization, areas where Indus Green has excelled by leveraging data-driven insights, a robust technology platform, and standardized operational processes. "With each new deployment, we are becoming smarter and more efficient in operating our EV assets, whether it’s optimizing vehicle routes or managing charging stations, while keeping a sharp focus on client needs, service quality, and positive unit economics", says Ketan. "We are also investing heavily in workflow automation and data processing capabilities to ensure timely and informed decision making", adds Ketan.

Indus Green currently operates a fleet of 100+ electric three-wheel (3W) cargo vehicles (L5) across the National Capital Region (NCR), serving 18 marquee brands at 35 locations from 14 strategically located charging and parking hubs. This infrastructure is a key component of the company's ability to deliver reliable, cost-effective logistics solutions at scale. Looking ahead, Indus Green has ambitious plans to triple its vehicle fleet and charging infrastructure in the next 3 to 4 quarters. The company also plans to expand its footprint into two additional cities in North India, further strengthening its market position. In line with its commitment to sustainability, Indus Green is set to install solar PV modules at its charging stations, reducing the carbon footprint of its operations even further.
