Ampvolts Limited, a leading Indian electric vehicle infrastructure and green mobility solutions provider, has secured a long-term logistics contract from GHCL Limited for the transportation of imported commodities from Pipavav Port to GHCL’s factory in Sutrapada, Gujarat. Under the terms of the agreement, Ampvolts will deploy 10 electric trucks with a capacity of 55 tonnes each, operating through one of GHCL’s empanelled Local Service Providers (LSPs).

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.
