Yulu, a leading electric vehicle (EV) mobility technology company in India, has extended its footprint to Pondicherry by launching its services in collaboration with Green Drive Pondicherry, a local initiative. The launch event, held at Pondy Marina, witnessed the presence of various government dignitaries, including the Chief Minister of Puducherry, highlighting the importance of this development.
As part of this collaboration, Green Drive Pondicherry will be managing Yulu’s Miracle EVs within the city, providing residents and visitors with a sustainable transportation alternative. This initiative is a continuation of the company’s Business Partner program, which has already seen successful implementations in cities like Indore, Kochi, and Tirunelveli.
Pondicherry, renowned for its vibrant tourist attractions, has been grappling with issues related to traffic congestion and pollution. Yulu’s electric vehicles are positioned as an eco-friendly solution to these challenges. These EVs are user-friendly, requiring no driver’s license to operate, and are designed with a maximum speed of 25 kmph, making them ideal for leisurely exploration.
Amit Gupta, Co-founder & CEO of Yulu, emphasized that this launch is in line with the company’s broader mission to drive sustainable transformation in India’s non-metro cities. He expressed confidence that this expansion would contribute significantly to reducing the environmental impact of transportation in Pondicherry. Meanwhile, K. Prakathesh, Founder of Green Drive Pondicherry, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, noting its potential to enhance sustainable tourism in the region.
The EVs will be strategically placed at various locations throughout Pondicherry, making them easily accessible for tourists and local riders alike, enabling them to explore the city in an environmentally responsible manner. Yulu has provided comprehensive support for this venture, including the supply of EVs, technological backing, training for the local team, and facilitating connections with local hospitality businesses.
To ensure the smooth operation of the fleet, a battery swapping station has been established by Yuma, further bolstering the sustainability and efficiency of the service. With this latest launch, the company has now expanded its operations to a total of ten cities across India, operating under a combination of company-owned and franchisee-operated models. This expansion underscores Yulu’s commitment to revolutionizing urban mobility across the country, offering scalable, sustainable solutions that cater to both metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas.
