Flytta has unveiled India’s first retrofitted 13-ton payload capacity electric truck, specially designed for cement bag transportation across challenging ghat roads and industrial terrains. Developed by Kalyani Powertrain (KPTL)—the electric mobility arm of the Kalyani Group—the truck will operate with Dalmia Cement on the Yadwad–Goa corridor.

This industry-first collaboration brings together Flytta’s sustainable logistics expertise, Kalyani’s engineering capabilities in EV retrofitting, and Dalmia Cement’s commitment to green manufacturing. The partnership marks a significant step forward in industrial decarbonisation and the adoption of clean mobility solutions in India.

The first fleet has already commenced operations, with Flytta planning to deploy nearly 200 retrofitted EV trucks in the coming months. With this milestone, the company has transformed into a comprehensive medium and heavy-duty EV trucking platform, offering payloads ranging from 13 tons to 40 tons for industries such as cement, steel, coal, and minerals.

Rahul Kanuganti, CEO of Flytta, said, “This launch is a defining moment for Flytta and for the logistics sector. By collaborating with Kalyani Powertrain and Dalmia Cement, we are showing how industrial transport can rapidly shift to sustainable solutions without compromising efficiency.”

Pankaj Sonalkar, Managing Director of Kalyani Powertrain, added, “We are proud to partner with Flytta and Dalmia Cement on this industry-first initiative. This project showcases how advanced retrofitting can accelerate India’s transition to clean mobility.”

Srawan Agarwal, Assistant Executive Director – Logistics, Dalmia Cement, stated, “At Dalmia Cement, sustainability is central to our operations. The adoption of EVs in industrial logistics is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and supporting India’s mission of energy self-sufficiency.”
