Adani Logistics and CMA CGM have launched electric truck container deliveries from the ICD at Tumb near Vapi in Gujarat.
Adani Logistics Limited (ALL), part of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), has partnered with global shipping and logistics group CMA CGM to deploy electric trucks for container deliveries from its Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Tumb, near Vapi, in Gujarat. The initiative is described as India’s largest electric truck fleet dedicated to container movement.
The deployment brings electric mobility into the inland leg of container transportation, connecting the depot with customers’ factories and warehouses under a store-door delivery model. CMA CGM is the first shipping line to use the new fleet. Its containers formed the first consignment transported during the flag-off ceremony.
Tumb is located roughly 160 km from Hazira port and about 230 km from Nhava Sheva. The depot serves industrial areas managed by the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation and the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation. It also connects with demand centres such as Vapi, Silvassa, Daman, Umbergaon and Sarigam.
Electric trucks produce no tailpipe emissions during operation, though overall carbon savings depend on the electricity source used for charging. In July 2025, the Ministry of Heavy Industries introduced incentives for electric trucks under the PM E-DRIVE scheme.
