UltraTech Cement Limited, an Aditya Birla Group company and the world’s largest cement company by sales volume and capacity outside China, has announced plans to scale up its electric vehicle fleet for logistics operations to more than 600 EV trucks by December 2026. The company has signed service contracts with leading EV prime mover manufacturers, including Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, IPLTech, Energy in Motion and Sany, along with their subsidiaries and other third-party logistics providers, to deploy EV trucks. The total fleet of more than 600 EV trucks will transport about five million MT of clinker and other key materials annually across Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Odisha. Once fully operational, the fleet will enable a net annual CO₂ reduction of more than 1,17,000 tonnes, displacing the equivalent of 39 million litres of diesel per year.

K C Jhanwar, Managing Director, UltraTech Cement Limited, said, “UltraTech is expanding sustainability beyond its plants by adopting greener logistics solutions. This large-scale transition to green logistics underscores our focus on decarbonising every link of our value chain and supports our commitment to achieving Net Zero.”

The company has been a pioneer in advancing sustainable transport in the cement sector, being the first cement company to deploy heavy-duty electric trucks for long-haul transport of clinker and other materials at scale. It was also among the first companies in India to introduce green logistics, deploying CNG trucks in 2021 and electric trucks in 2024. The company currently operates more than 850 trucks as part of its green logistics operations, including CNG and electric trucks. With a grey cement capacity of more than 200 MTPA in India, the cement maker operates one of the country’s most complex logistics networks. Its electrification strategy covers the entire supply chain, from mine-to-plant movement to inter-plant transport of clinker and other key materials.
