UltraTech Cement Limited, the world’s largest cement company by sales volume and capacity outside China, has announced plans to scale up its electric vehicle fleet in logistics operations to over 600 EV trucks by December 2026.
The company has signed service contracts with leading EV manufacturers including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, IPLTech, Energy in Motion, and Sany, along with their subsidiaries and third-party logistics providers. The fleet will transport approximately five million MT of clinker and other key materials annually across Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Odisha.
Once fully operational, the 600+ EV truck fleet will enable a net annual CO₂ reduction of more than 1,17,000 tonnes, displacing the equivalent of 39 million litres of diesel per year.
Mr. K C Jhanwar, Managing Director, UltraTech Cement Limited, said, “UltraTech is expanding sustainability beyond its plants by adopting greener logistics solutions. This large-scale transition to green logistics underscores our focus on decarbonising every link of our value chain and supports our commitment to achieving Net Zero.”
UltraTech has been a pioneer in sustainable transport in the cement sector — the first cement company to deploy heavy-duty electric trucks for long-haul clinker transport at scale. The company introduced CNG trucks in 2021 and electric trucks in 2024, and currently operates 850+ trucks as part of its green logistics operations. Its electrification strategy spans the entire supply chain, from mine-to-plant movement to inter-planet transport of clinker and other key materials.
With a grey cement capacity of over 200 MTPA in India, UltraTech operates one of the country’s most complex logistics networks — making its commitment to green logistics one of the most significant in the Indian industrial sector.
