India’s First EV Truck Fleet Flagged Off at JNPA:
India’s first fleet of electric heavy-duty trucks with swappable batteries was launched at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) on September 25, 2025. The fleet was flagged off by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, at Nhava Sheva Distribution Terminal, marking a key milestone in India’s efforts to decarbonise port operations. A total of 50 EV trucks were inducted into JNPA’s internal fleet, with plans to scale up to 80 by the end of the year and achieve 90% conversion of its 600-truck fleet to electric vehicles by December 2026.
