The company stated that the quick commerce market in India valued at around USD 60 billion to USD 70 billion is seeing substantial growth. It is expected to further grow by USD 25 billion and USD 55 billion by 2030. Zypp Electric is enabling last-mile delivery partners to embrace electric vehicles enabling higher earnings for them and also help reduce carbon emissions.

Zypp Electric claims that its delivery partners accounted for almost 15-20 percent of all quick commerce orders delivered in the Delhi-NCR region.

It has inked strategic partnerships with companies such as Zepto, Blinkit, Big Basket Now, and Instamart. Its fleet of EVs have helped reduce 2.5 million kilograms of carbon emissions.

The company claims during the recent festive season, top earners of Zypp Delivery Pilots have earned nearly INR 99,949 per month.

Akash Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, Zypp Electric, said, “I remember when we had our first meeting with all our amazing quick commerce partners Zepto, Blinkit, BB Now and Swiggy Instamart, we were sure that this sector will revolutionise the delivery market. This achievement is not just a number; it signifies our relentless pursuit of sustainability in quick commerce. At Zypp Electric, we believe that quick and sustainable logistics is the future of e-commerce. Our partnerships have shown that we can break the myth that speed and sustainability are mutually exclusive. As we move forward, we are excited to lead the charge in making electric deliveries the norm in India, and I would personally cherish delivering the 21st million delivery landmark myself with my leadership team.”

Yulu has launched its franchisee-led service in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, marking its ninth partner-led rollout under the Yulu Business Partner (YBP) initiative.

The service is operated by Tezz Mobility, led by entrepreneurs Dharamveer Singh Bhadoriya and Siddharth Jain, and expands Yulu’s presence into Central India.

The partnership aims to address the growing demand for last-mile delivery services in Bhopal, which is currently served primarily by petrol vehicles. The ecosystem includes a city-wide network of Yulu Zones, a central operations and service hub and a battery-swapping grid provided by Yuma Energy.

In the first phase, operations are focused on high-density delivery zones such as Shahpura, with plans to expand to Hoshangabad Road, New Market, TT Nagar, Kolar Road and Habibganj.

Tezz Mobility intends to scale its fleet to over 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) within the next two to three years, covering Bhopal and other high-potential regions in north and west India.

The launch is designed to overcome local barriers to EV adoption, such as limited rental options and a lack of dedicated charging infrastructure. By providing purpose-built delivery EVs and a pay-per-use model, the service allows delivery partners to access sustainable mobility without the need for personal vehicle ownership or fuel reimbursements. The long-term objective of the initiative is to transition 100 percent of Bhopal's delivery traffic to EV-powered mobility.

Amit Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO, Yulu, said, “Bhopal represents a strong market opportunity characterised by rising delivery demand and a thriving gig economy. With 45+ dark stores and thriving food delivery activity, the Bhopal market has room for ~8,000 delivery riders. Through our partnership with Tezz Mobility, Yulu is delighted to build a scalable, tech-driven logistics backbone to cater to this demand. Yulu’s proven mobility stack and segment expertise, coupled with Dharamveer and Siddharth’s operational prowess, will accelerate Bhopal’s transition toward a more efficient, sustainable and future-ready mobility ecosystem.”  

Dharamveer Singh Bhadoriya, Co-Promoter, Tezz Mobility, added, “Our previous experience as a supplier to leading quick commerce brands has given us a first-hand understanding of the operational challenges delivery ecosystems face every day. With Yulu’s platform, we are bringing a proven, end-to-end solution that allows Bhopal’s delivery partners to access reliable, affordable and sustainable mobility while helping aggregators to meet their EV commitments from day one.”

Siddharth Jain, Co-Promoter, Tezz Mobility, added, “Yulu’s full-stack platform, brand trust and aggregator relationships have enabled Tezz Mobility to reduce our build time from 1.5 years to mere weeks. The Tezz team is excited to transform Bhopal’s mobility landscape. The longer arc is to turn Bhopal into a reference model for every subsequent city.”
