Lilypad has unveiled an ambitious expansion plan to strengthen sustainable last-mile mobility in Noida, announcing the deployment of 1,000 electric two-wheelers by mid-2026. The rollout is supported by a ₹3 crore funding pipeline, combining internal investment and contributions from high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), private investors, and strategic partners. The initiative aims to boost EV adoption across the NCR region and provide reliable, low-cost mobility solutions for delivery partners and gig workers.
Phased Rollout to Begin Immediately
The deployment will kick off this month with an initial batch of 150 electric scooters, followed by quarterly additions of 250 vehicles until the target of 1,000 is achieved. This structured rollout strategy is designed to ensure operational continuity, fleet readiness, and seamless integration with Lilypad’s expanding service ecosystem.
Strategic Partnerships to Strengthen Infrastructure
Lilypad has forged key alliances with Battery Smart, leading EV OEMs, and major delivery aggregators to scale its fleet and integrate charging and battery-swapping infrastructure. These partnerships will play a pivotal role in reducing downtime, ensuring vehicle availability, and supporting high-demand logistics operations across Noida.
Tech-Driven Fleet for High Efficiency
Each two-wheeler in the upcoming fleet will be equipped with:
-
IoT-based telematics for real-time tracking
-
Geofencing and remote immobilisation
-
Fleet intelligence and analytics
These digital capabilities aim to optimize operations, enhance rider safety, and deliver greater visibility for enterprise customers.
Comprehensive Support Services for Riders
Lilypad’s EV ecosystem includes maintenance support, servicing partnerships, and 24×7 roadside assistance within Noida. This holistic support model is designed to reduce operational friction for gig workers and logistics firms, replacing conventional petrol-powered delivery vehicles with more dependable and cost-effective electric options.
Environmental and Economic Impact
The company estimates that transitioning 1,000 delivery vehicles to electric will cut nearly 1,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually. For gig workers, the move could reduce operating expenses by up to 30%, improving daily earnings and accelerating the shift to electric mobility in high-density delivery zones.
A Major Step Toward Sustainable Mobility in NCR
With this strategic deployment, Lilypad aims to establish one of Noida’s largest electric two-wheeler delivery fleets by 2026. The initiative aligns with India’s broader goals of cleaner urban transport and supports the growing demand for efficient, eco-friendly last-mile logistics solutions.
