Driving Change: Ecomm firms amp up for sustainable future
Electric vehicles are powering the green transformation of India's ecommerce industry. Amid an overall surge in order volumes, companies like Flipkart, Amazon, BigBasket, Swiggy, and Eternal (formerly Zomato) are speeding up the transition to ecofriendly vehicles for last-mile delivery , especially quick commerce. This is helping cut costs while lowering emissions and reducing the climate footprint. Walmart-backed Flipkart is looking to make its entire logistics fleet electric. After achieving the operational fleet milestone of 10,000 EVs last September, the company expanded its EV lineup by more than a third within six months. In FY25, Eternal, which also owns the Blinkit quick-commerce brand, completed more than 87 million EV-based food deliveries, a 40per cent rise from the previous year, expanding its EV rider base to over 37,000 across over 425 cities. BigBasket's EV fleet has more than doubled to 10,500 scooters this year, from 5,000 two years ago, with a third of the delivery fleet using electric scooters for order deliveries. Rival Swiggy announced a goal of transitioning to a full EV delivery fleet by 2030. 'Beyond environmental benefits, sustainability investments unlock new market opportunities and resonate with conscious consumers, strengthening customer loyalty. This balanced approach allows us to operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and build a more resilient business model,' said Abhinav Singh, vice president, operations, Amazon India and Australia. Amazon India deployed over 10,000 EVs in its delivery fleet as of October 2024, achieving the goal more than a year ahead of its 2025 target. These EVs operate in more than 500 cities across India, and the programme enables Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) to lease them. Long-term impact Amazon's primary goal is to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040, with electrifying last-mile deliveries as a key aspect. A Research & Markets report valued India's online food ordering and delivery market at $31.77 billion in 2024, and it is expected to grow at 28.17per cent compounded annually to around $140.85 billion by 2030. Using EVs for deliveries would help companies to reduce their climate footprint. 'At Flipkart, our approach to logistics is rooted in sustainability, innovation, and long-term impact,' said Nishant Gupta, head of sustainability, Flipkart. 'Today, more than 70per cent of our grocery deliveries are fulfilled using EVs.' The cost advantage also positively benefits delivery agents using these vehicles. Gupta said, 'Our goal isn't just to meet sustainability targets but to shape a resilient and future-ready supply chain that contributes to a cleaner India.' Companies are rapidly expanding charging infrastructure, partnering with EV makers and EV aggregation platforms, and forging tie-ups to give riders exclusive EV leasing benefits. BigBasket installed more than 3,000 EV charging sockets across its dark stores and BB Now stores, which it will continue expanding, said chief operating officer TK Balakumar. The Tata Group company is working with EV aggregators such as Zypp and Yulu for accelerating EV adoption besides engaging with national third-party logistics (3PL) partners for scaling up EV fleet deployment. Eternal, which aims to shift to 100per cent EV-based food deliveries by 2030, actively supports delivery partners to transition to EVs via a three-pronged strategy—raising EV awareness, building partnerships, and promoting EV ownership. 'We educate delivery partners through multilingual videos and app-based updates, and facilitate easy access to rentals and charging infrastructure through integrations with over 40 rental partners, battery-swapping networks and logistics service providers,' said Anjalli Ravi Kumar, chief sustainability officer, Eternal. To accelerate the adoption and improve accessibility of EVs for delivery partners, Zomato launched an EV rental bike fleet in Delhi, facilitating two-wheeler EVs on rent to its delivery partners. It has introduced 300 EV bikes through this pilot phase.

G7 okays deal to spare US and UK companies from higher taxes
G7 has created a 'side-by-side' system in response to the US administration agreeing to scrap the Section 899 retaliatory tax proposal from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill, read more A man walk past the G7 members flags at the Manoir Richelieu before the G7 Foreign Ministers summit in La Malbaie, Quebec, Canada March 12, 2025. Source: Reuters The United States and the Group of Seven nations have agreed to support a proposal that would exempt U.S. companies from some components of an existing global agreement, the G7 said in a statement on Saturday. The group has created a 'side-by-side' system in response to the U.S. administration agreeing to scrap the Section 899 retaliatory tax proposal from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill, it said in a statement from Canada, the head of the rolling G7 presidency. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The G7 said the plan recognizes existing U.S. minimum tax laws and aims to bring more stability to the international tax system. The U.S Treasury Department said that following the removal of Section 899 from the U.S. Senate version of the tax and spending bill, there is a shared understanding that a side-by-side system could preserve important gains made by jurisdictions inside the Inclusive Framework in tackling base erosion and profit shifting. 'We look forward to discussing and developing this understanding within the Inclusive Framework,' the Department said in a post on X on Saturday. UK businesses are also spared higher taxes after the removal of Section 899 from President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill. Britain said businesses would benefit from greater certainty and stability following the agreement. Some British businesses had in recent weeks said they were worried about paying substantial additional tax due to the inclusion of Section 899, which has now been removed. 'Today's agreement provides much-needed certainty and stability for those businesses after they had raised their concerns,' finance minister Rachel Reeves said in a statement, adding that more work was needed to tackle aggressive tax planning and avoidance. G7 officials said that they look forward to discussing a solution that is 'acceptable and implementable to all'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In January, through an executive order, Trump declared that the global corporate minimum tax deal was not applicable in the U.S., effectively pulling out of the landmark 2021 arrangement negotiated by the Biden administration with nearly 140 countries. He also vowed to impose a retaliatory tax against countries that impose taxes on U.S. firms under the 2021 global tax agreement. This tax was considered detrimental to many foreign companies operating in the U.S. (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Firstpost staff.)
