changeadminThe growing climate consciousness and the need for reliable cab services drive many Indian consumers to opt for electric vehicle cab services.
Taxi services move millions of people every day.
In addition to local cabs, 2010 was a watershed in Indian taxi services as it brought in two startups – Ola and Uber. These two ride-hailing platforms revolutionized how Indians used cabs for everyday commutes.
However, over the years, the services of these two companies have become unreliable and often met with discontent and displeasure among consumers; apart from that, the fossil-fuel-based cabs also contribute to pollution and climate change.
Therefore, there is a growing class of Indian consumers looking for environmentally friendly and reliable alternatives.
Here is a list of electric vehicle taxi service companies in India.

Wrapping Up
Electric mobility is the future of transport; therefore, it is imperative that all transport systems gradually switch to electric vehicles.
Apart from the demand from consumers, the Indian government has also created momentum towards the adoption of electric vehicles. Through its Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles Schemes that encourage, and in some cases, even mandate the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EV), intending to reach 100% EV penetration by 2030, the electric vehicle taxi services in India are surely going to rise.
We will update the list as and when we learn more about EV taxi services in India. If you know any company that provides electric cabs in your area or city, do let us know in the comments.
