India’s biggest companies are fast-tracking green logistics after the Prime Minister urged reduced fossil fuel use. PepsiCo is expanding its EV Green Corridor beyond the Kosi-Pataudi route, targeting close to 30% of plant-to-warehouse shuttles to run on electricity by year-end. Maruti Suzuki plans to send up to 35% of factory-to-dealership vehicle dispatches via rail by FY2030-31, investing over ₹1,370 crore in rail infrastructure. Hindustan Unilever has shifted over 97% of operational energy to renewables, while Dabur increases EV fleets and triples rail utilization.
After years of slow adoption, more companies in India are turning to railways to move freight efficiently. A leading private logistics player is now scaling its rail investments with a reported INR 1,800 crore push. The move is driven by clearer economics—costs, reliability, and route economics are converging—making rail a stronger option for expanding businesses.
