GreenLine Partners with Flipkart
GreenLine Partners with Walmart-owned Flipkart to Power Greener Supply Chains
GreenLine Mobility Solutions Ltd, a logistics company of Essar Group, has teamed up with Walmart-owned Flipkart. The startups aim to enable a more sustainable supply chain through the incorporation of environmentally friendly technology. GreenLine Partners with Flipkart with a plan. This plan involves integrating LNG-powered trucks in fleets, alongside the 10,000 EVs the firm already possesses. The goal is to cut down on emissions from e-commerce deliveries.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Under this cooperation, GreenLine will first use 25 LNG-driven trucks during the first instance. Every truck will be fitted with 46-foot containers providing a volume of 110 cubic metres for transporting goods. These trucks will transport both B2B and B2C goods.
These trucks will operate mainly along the route from western India to the northern region. Later, they will expand to open routes along the north-to-south and west-to-south axes. This supports Flipkart’s broader sustainability approach, aiming for a lower carbon impact.
Flipkart also aims to use cleaner means of transportation in its supply chain. Late last month, Flipkart achieved having 10,000 electric vehicles in its delivery network. The addition of LNG trucks aligns with its efforts to reduce carbon emissions in logistics operations.
Green Logistics in India
Anand Mimani, CEO of GreenLine, emphasised the importance of this partnership in driving greener logistics across India. He stated, “At GreenLine, we see the growing environmental footprint of the e-commerce sector as a call to action. Our collaboration with Flipkart enables us to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable India, one delivery at a time.” By integrating LNG-powered vehicles into Flipkart’s existing logistics network, this partnership aligns with both companies’ commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their operations.
