Blue Energy Motors joins PARIVARTAN scheme for electric truck adoption

Blue Energy Motors (BEM) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) under the Government of India’s PARIVARTAN Scheme to support the replacement of ageing commercial vehicles with cleaner alternatives across the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR).

Announced on 22 October 2026, the initiative aims to reduce transport-related pollution and improve air quality by encouraging the replacement of older, high-emission trucks and buses. Blue Energy Motors will support the wider adoption of electric heavy-duty trucks for freight and logistics operations through its participation in the scheme.

The initiative brings together government policy support and commercial vehicle technology to encourage fleet operators to transition towards zero-emission freight transport.

Scheme targets ageing commercial vehicles

The PARIVARTAN Scheme focuses on replacing older commercial vehicles with cleaner alternatives across the Delhi NCR. By incentivising the transition, the initiative seeks to address emissions from road transport and encourage the adoption of vehicles with lower environmental impact.

For Blue Energy Motors, participation in the programme provides an opportunity to promote electric heavy-duty trucks among fleet operators and support the shift towards cleaner freight mobility.

Anirudh Bhuwalka, Founder and Managing Director of Blue Energy Motors, said the scheme could help accelerate the adoption of electric heavy-duty trucks through policy support, technology and domestic manufacturing capabilities.

He added that the company’s participation reflects its commitment to the government’s sustainable transportation objectives and the transition towards zero-emission freight operations.

Company reports 150 million green kilometres

Blue Energy Motors manufactures electric and liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered heavy-duty trucks. According to the company, more than 1,400 of its green heavy-duty trucks are operating across key freight routes in India.

The company has also reported that its trucks have covered more than 150 million green kilometres on Indian roads, helping reduce over 44,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. It estimates that this reduction is equivalent to the carbon absorption of approximately 1.8 million trees.

Its business model combines truck technology with energy-as-a-service offerings and maintenance support. The company works with partners and suppliers to develop an ecosystem intended to make cleaner commercial transport commercially viable.

As India pursues lower-emission freight operations, programmes such as PARIVARTAN are intended to support collaboration between policymakers and industry. Blue Energy Motors plans to contribute through its electric heavy-duty truck technology and continued focus on cleaner freight mobility.
