This collaboration aligns with Uber’s global objective of providing 100% emission-free rides by 2040 and reinforces the ride-hailing platform’s ongoing efforts to promote clean energy solutions. The new fleet of 1,000 EVs will be available on Uber to cater to the growing preference for sustainable mobility choices in cities.

Refex Green Mobility Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chennai-headquartered Refex Industries Limited and it operates under the brand Refex eVeelz. The deployment will see electric four-wheelers onboarded onto the Uber platform across Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, marking a significant milestone in Uber’s efforts to electrify urban mobility.

Commenting on the partnership, Aditya Kapoor, Head, Supply and Electrification, Uber India and South Asia, said, “Uber is committed to accelerating the shift to zero-emission mobility in India, and this partnership with Refex eVeelz is a significant step in that direction. It strengthens our efforts to electrify urban transportation, bringing more electric ride options to riders across many new cities in India. We remain focused on removing barriers to EV adoption and driving the transition to a greener future through partnerships that will build a sustainable future for all.” 

Sachin Navtosh Jha, Chief of Staff, Refex Group, said, “As a company committed to driving the transition towards sustainable mobility, we are proud to partner with Uber to deliver electric solutions to more cities in India. This collaboration, in addition to our currently existing B2B as well as B2C operations with nearly 1,300 company-owned 4-wheeler EVs will help us contribute to reducing urban carbon emissions and will also play a key role in achieving India’s broader sustainability goals.”

As part of its broader electrification push, Uber rolled out Uber Green across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata. Uber Green allows passengers to request an all-electric, zero tail-pipe emissions vehicle, providing an on-demand EV experience with a few taps on the app. Uber Green is already the most widely available on-demand mobility solution for no or low-emission rides globally, available in over 100 cities across 15 countries.

With this partnership, Uber and Refex eVeelz are making significant strides in expanding the availability of electric mobility options in India, paving the way for a greener and electric urban transportation ecosystem.
