04 Aug 2025 CW Team

Infosys and Routematic have introduced Pune’s first fully petrol- and diesel-free corporate transport fleet. The initiative makes Routematic the only corporate transport provider in the city to operate entirely on green energy.

The fleet, comprising four- and six-seater CNG and electric vehicles, aims to reduce emissions and ease traffic congestion in a city already grappling with high pollution levels. IQAir’s 2024 report lists 13 Indian cities among the world’s 20 most polluted.

Routematic Founder and CEO Sriram Kannan said the company is proud to lead sustainable corporate mobility by becoming Pune’s first 100% diesel- and petrol-free service provider. With over 350,000 employees served across 300+ enterprises in 23+ cities, the company now plans to expand to 10,000 vehicles by March 2026, electrify 30% of its fleet within two years and set up city-level command centres for 24/7 EV monitoring.
