Rao, Vice President – Commercial at GHCL, whose commitment to developing a green freight corridor in Gujarat has been instrumental. This collaboration gives us a platform to demonstrate a fully sustainable logistics solution, delivering Zero Emission Trucking while supporting ESG compliance.”

He further added, “Our strength lies in building tailored EV charging infrastructure, and we have already identified strong local partners to support this corridor. Our scalable charging solutions are ready to handle both current demand and future increases in EV freight traffic. We are committed to offering a reliable, long-term ecosystem for green mobility to corporate clients like GHCL.”

The deal marks a significant step forward in decarbonising industrial logistics in western India and reinforces Ampvolts’ growing presence in the commercial EV and infrastructure segment.
