Dalmia Cement Deploys Electric Truck for Freight Operations in Odisha

Dalmia Cement, Tejas Cargo India and Blue Energy Motors have partnered to deploy an electric heavy-duty truck for cement transportation operations in Rajgangpur, Odisha. The initiative marks a step towards sustainable freight transportation and reducing emissions associated with logistics operations.

Operated by Tejas Cargo India, the Blue Energy Motors electric truck will support Dalmia Cement’s logistics requirements while contributing to cleaner and more efficient supply chain operations.

With businesses increasingly focusing on reducing their environmental footprint beyond manufacturing operations, freight transportation has emerged as a key area for addressing Scope 3 emissions. The collaboration highlights how manufacturers, logistics providers and vehicle manufacturers can work together to accelerate the adoption of cleaner mobility solutions.

The deployment also represents a milestone in the adoption of electric heavy-duty trucks in India, demonstrating the readiness of the technology for commercial applications across industries such as cement and infrastructure.

Chander Bindal, Chairman & Managing Director, Tejas Cargo India, said, “The logistics sector is undergoing a significant transformation, and sustainable transportation will play a defining role in its future. We are pleased to deploy Blue Energy Motors' electric heavy-duty truck for Dalmia Cement's operations and look forward to contributing to the adoption of cleaner and more efficient freight solutions across the industry.”

Anand Mimani, CEO – EV & New Energy Business, Blue Energy Motors, said, “As India accelerates its transition towards a lower-carbon future, decarbonising freight transportation will be critical to achieving meaningful emissions reductions. Electric heavy-duty trucks are increasingly proving their ability to deliver the performance, reliability and economics required for commercial operations. This deployment is a strong example of how clean mobility solutions can help industries reduce transportation-related emissions while advancing their broader sustainability ambitions.”

Blue Energy Motors continues to support the transition towards sustainable freight mobility through its portfolio of LNG and electric heavy-duty trucks. The company has deployed more than 1,400 green heavy-duty trucks across key freight corridors in India, which have collectively covered over 122 million green kilometres and helped reduce more than 33,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

As industrial sectors continue transitioning towards lower-carbon operations, initiatives such as this highlight the growing role of electric freight mobility in reducing logistics-related emissions and building sustainable supply chains. With increasing focus on Scope 3 emissions, electric heavy-duty transportation is expected to become an important component of cleaner and more resilient logistics networks.
