Grofers To Deliver Groceries Via E-rickshaws In Delhi-NCR

Online grocery startup Grofers has confirmed to have commenced delivery operations via e-rickshaws in the national capital to reduce delivery cost by 25 percent.

With recently raised Rs 400 crore fresh funding, the company aims to upsize the fleet delivery to 50 e-rickshaws on Delhi-NCR roads in the next 3-4 months.

The introduction of this environment-friendly electric fleet will help Grofers reduce the cost of delivery by 25 percent and cater to the growing influx of orders, the company said in a statement.

Initially, customers in South Delhi will receive their groceries via e-vehicles. The services will then be extended to other regions.

Grofers co-founder and CEO Albinder Dhindsa said, "To keep pace with the quick adoption of online groceries in Delhi-NCR, we are strengthening our delivery operations. E-rickshaws are ideal for last-mile connectivity.”
