UltraTech Cement has commenced deployment of 45 electric heavy-duty trucks in partnership with Energy In Motion for long-haul clinker transport in northern India.
UltraTech Cement Limited, the world’s largest cement company by sales volume and capacity excluding China, has commenced deployment of 45 electric heavy-duty trucks in partnership with Energy In Motion as part of its green logistics initiative.
The fleet will transport clinker from Kotputli Cement Works, UltraTech’s integrated manufacturing unit in Rajasthan, to its grinding units at Dadri Cement Works and Sikandarabad Cement Works in the Delhi-NCR region, covering a lead distance of 250 kilometres across Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Each truck has a capacity of 55 tonnes, and the fleet is projected to reduce over 8,900 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, displacing the equivalent of approximately 2.9 million litres of diesel per year. The deployment is described as among the largest of its kind in the cement sector in northern India and further strengthens UltraTech’s existing fleet of over 750 green trucks.
The initiative follows the signing of a transport service contract between UltraTech, Energy In Motion and a logistics service provider. UltraTech was among the first companies in India to introduce green logistics, deploying CNG trucks in 2021, LNG trucks in 2022 and electric trucks in 2024. As of FY26, the company operates 638 CNG trucks, 32 LNG trucks and 89 electric trucks across its manufacturing units. K C Jhanwar, Managing Director of UltraTech Cement Limited, said the deployment reflected the company’s belief that decarbonising logistics was as strategic as decarbonising production, and aligned with India’s objective to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.
