400 EVs in Corporate Fleets Save 15.7 Lakh Litres of Fuel Annually

A new report from corporate mobility firm Routematic demonstrates significant savings from electric vehicle adoption in employee transportation. The deployment of over 400 EVs in Bengaluru and Pune saves approximately 65,400 litres of fuel every 15 days, translating to nearly Rs 65 lakh in cost savings. Annually, this fleet could avoid consuming over 15.7 lakh litres of fuel, projecting savings exceeding Rs 15 crore. The company highlights that predictable daily routes make employee transport services particularly suitable for electrification.

400 EVs save 15.7 lakh litres of fuel annually in corporate fleets: Report

"rising fuel price uncertainty is reinforcing the need for electrification - Sriram Kannan"

New Delhi, March 28

Amid ongoing global fuel price volatility driven by geopolitical tensions, new data from corporate mobility firm Routematic indicates that electric vehicle adoption in employee transportation fleets can significantly reduce fuel consumption and operating costs.

According to the company, its deployment of over 400 electric vehicles across Bengaluru and Pune has resulted in savings of approximately 65,400 litres of fuel every 15 days. At current fuel prices of around Rs 100 per litre, this translates to nearly Rs 65 lakh in cost savings over the same period.

On an annual basis, Routematic estimates that its existing EV fleet could help avoid the consumption of over 15.7 lakh litres of fuel, leading to projected savings of more than Rs 15 crore, assuming current fuel prices remain stable.

The company stated that these figures are based on operational data from its current EV deployments and reflect the potential financial benefits of partial fleet electrification. It added that a full transition to EVs could further enhance cost efficiencies.

Routematic highlighted that employee transportation services, where vehicles typically operate 100-150 kilometres daily on fixed routes, are particularly suited for electrification due to predictable usage patterns. Its EV fleet currently averages about 120 kilometres per day per vehicle.

The firm also noted that despite growing economic and environmental incentives, adoption of structured corporate commute systems remains limited. Citing its internal research, it said over 60 per cent of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India do not yet have integrated commute solutions.

Commenting on the development, Routematic Founder and CEO Sriram Kannan said that rising fuel price uncertainty is reinforcing the need for electrification, not only from a sustainability standpoint but also for cost stability and operational efficiency.

Routematic operates an AI-driven mobility platform that optimises routing, scheduling, and fleet utilisation, including monitoring EV battery performance and charging cycles.

Rs 15 crore in savings is no joke! My company still uses diesel buses. They should seriously look at this data. The upfront cost for EVs is high, but the long-term savings and predictability with fuel prices make so much sense.

Good initiative, but the report misses a key point. What about the charging infrastructure strain on our already overloaded grids, especially in summer? And the environmental cost of battery manufacturing? We need a holistic view, not just feel-good numbers.

Working in a GCC in Pune, I can confirm the commute is a major pain point. If companies invested in smart, electric shuttle services like this, it would boost employee satisfaction massively. Less traffic, cleaner air, and on-time pickups? Yes please!

Fixed routes for office cabs are perfect for EVs. No range anxiety. Hope this pushes the government to offer more subsidies for corporate fleet electrification. We need to reduce dependency on imported fuel, for the economy and national security.

The stat about 60% of GCCs not having integrated commute solutions is shocking. So much wasted productivity and fuel. This isn't just about being green; it's about basic operational efficiency. Kudos to Routematic for showing the way.
