Magenta Mobility has established partnerships with clients like Shadowfax, Dmart, Porter, Garage, and Flipkart to ensure efficient and sustainable mid- and last-mile delivery services in Jaipur.
Magenta Mobility has launched operations in Jaipur, Rajasthan, under its 'Pink Turns Green' initiative on Tuesday. The company plans to deploy 200 electric vehicles (EVs) initially, aiming to scale to 300 by December 2024. This expansion is part of Magenta's mission to decarbonize India's logistics industry.

Jaipur is emerging as a crucial player in India's EV logistics market due to growing demand for electric fleets. Its strategic location and commitment to sustainable transportation make it attractive for logistics companies. E-commerce, FMCG, and pharmaceutical sectors are increasingly prioritizing eco-friendly delivery in the city, boosting EV adoption.

The launch event saw the presence of JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation's leadership from Jaipur. Magenta will set up a new hub-and-spoke depot in the city, with parking space for 100 EVs and powered by 3.3 kW Penta chargers. The company plans to hire over 200 local delivery executives to support operations.
