Dabur India plans to induct 100 EVs for last-mile product distribution
- Dabur is aiming to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations in the country.
Dabur India Ltd has announced its plans to induct a fleet constituting 100 electric vehicles (EVs) into its supply chain for last-mile product distribution in the next 12 months. The company has already put in the first batch of electric vehicles in the northern parts of the country, including Sonipat in Haryana.
Dabur said this move will help the organisation to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations. It will also help the company to reduce its percentage of carbon emissions annually. “Electric Vehicles are an ideal solution to replace conventional fuel vehicles since they are energy-efficient, green and environment friendly. I am confident that this move will also help us propagate the use of electric vehicles even in the hinterland, helping India achieve its Green Energy Mission faster," said Dabur India Ltd CEO Mohit Malhotra.
