Zomato and Blinkit held the third edition of their EV Bazaar in New Delhi on October 9, bringing together 2,500 delivery partners and more than 20 electric two-wheeler makers and ecosystem partners. Riders could test ride over 30 models and talk to vendors offering financing, charging, battery swapping, and rentals. The goal is to make it easier for delivery partners to switch from petrol scooters to electric ones. Eternal, the parent company, says more than 200,000 delivery partners on Zomato and Blinkit now use electric two-wheelers. In FY26, EVs powered 228 million deliveries, avoiding an estimated 9,926 tonnes of CO2. A rent-a-vehicle feature in the delivery partner apps was used by over 23,000 riders, and the company's own rental fleet has 1,500 e-scooters across Delhi and Chennai. Charging and battery-swapping infrastructure remains the limiting factor. Government officials at the event framed wider delivery-fleet adoption as a way to expand that network. For anyone tracking transport electrification in India, this is a useful case study in how last-mile delivery economics can push EV adoption.
