Electric cab startup Evera is taking over 1,000 cabs from BluSmart, which recently shut down services across NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.
So far, it’s already taken possession of 220 cars and is in talks with lenders to lease the rest. Evera is also onboarding BluSmart’s drivers—150 already hired, with more expected soon.
Why it matters: BluSmart’s exit left a gap in EV ride-hailing. Evera is filling it fast, especially around Delhi airport, where it plans to scale daily B2C trips from 200 to 2,000.
The company is also ramping up its B2B game and doubling down on the airport cab market—where demand is high and margins are better.
Zoom out: as India’s EV mobility race heats up, Evera’s quick grab of BluSmart’s fleet could give it a serious head start.
