Uber on Thursday said it has partnered with JSW Group to jointly develop and deploy electric vehicle (EV) solutions tailored for India’s ride-hailing market, as both companies look to support wider EV adoption in line with the country’s net-zero goals.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Parth Jindal and Dara Khosrowshahi at the JSW headquarters in Mumbai last week.

Under the partnership, Uber and JSW Green Mobility will explore opportunities to co-develop and scale localised EV solutions suited for mobility services operating on the Uber platform across different categories.

The companies said the collaboration will focus on deploying EV solutions aligned with the pricing and performance expectations of the Indian market while addressing the evolving requirements of riders and drivers.

“We are excited to collaborate with Uber to explore scalable EV mobility solutions aligned with national net-zero goals for India,” said Parth Jindal of JSW Group.

“By combining Uber’s platform scale and mobility insights with JSW’s growing automotive and clean mobility ambitions, we hope to contribute meaningfully to India’s EV ecosystem,” he added.

Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India and South Asia, said India’s transition to electric mobility would require deeper ecosystem partnerships involving technology platforms, automakers, fleet operators and infrastructure providers.

“Through this collaboration with JSW Group, we aim to help accelerate the adoption of EVs on the Uber platform by exploring solutions purpose-built for the needs of Indian riders and drivers,” Singh said.
