Evera to acquire 500 EVs from BluSmart

Evera Cabs, an all-electric, app-based taxi service currently situated at Indira Gandhi International Airport, said it has initiated the repossession of 500 electric cabs formerly operated by BluSmart, following the latter’s operational suspension in key metros.

Prakriti Mobility-owned Evera Cabs has already acquired 220 vehicles and the remaining 280 are set to be reclaimed in the coming days.

Evera said it is on an acquisition spree with a funnel of 1,000 BluSmart cabs as it looks to solidify its position as the leading electric cab service provider, with a strong focus on airport mobility. The fleet operator has five years of experience in the B2B segment.

This development follows a recent shift in the electric mobility landscape, marked by BluSmart’s suspension of services across key metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. The resulting market gap has created an opportunity for Evera to step in and meet the growing demand for dependable electric cab services, ensuring service continuity while rapidly expanding its presence across NCR and key airport corridors.

Evera’s repossession of BluSmart’s cabs through its lenders is part of a multi-stage strategic plan to reinforce its footprint in NCR’s high-demand airport cab sector. The first phase involves the redeployment of these electric vehicles to strengthen operations, particularly in and around Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Commenting on Evera’s way forward, Nimish Trivedi, Co-Founder and CEO, Evera, said, “What we’re executing is not just a scale-up, it’s a realignment of the electric mobility narrative in India. As key players recalibrate, Evera is stepping forward with clear intent, absorbing proven EV assets and trusted drivers to ensure uninterrupted service across key routes.”

“With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, Evera is committed to providing zero-cancellation, surge-free rides—delivering a seamless, reliable, and affordable electric mobility experience. We’re building a stronger, smarter, and more resilient network for the future. Beyond continuity, our strategy propels leadership, speed, and setting a new benchmark in clean, premium urban transport. Our commitment is to ensure zero disruption for commuters and to elevate their experience through seamless service, operational depth, and an uncompromising focus on sustainability,” said Trivedi.

Alongside the fleet integration, a big chunk of  BluSmart drivers are queuing up to join Evera, with 10% of them being women, the company said. Around 150 drivers have already started doing trips. Recruitment efforts are ongoing to ensure service readiness as the fleet scales up, it added.

In the next phase, Evera is doubling down on its airport network expansion, extending services across all terminals of Delhi’s airport. While Evera previously operated only from Terminal 3, the integration of new vehicles enables full-terminal coverage, ensuring better availability and turnaround times for commuters.
