Bijliride Brings Electric Two-Wheelers to Flipkart Minutes Deliveries: Phased Festive-Season Rollout Starts Across Five Metros

Bijliride, a Hyderabad-based EV rental and fleet platform, has partnered with Flipkart Minutes, Flipkart's quick-commerce service, to deploy electric two-wheelers for last-mile deliveries across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Pune. The rollout is phased and timed for the festive season. Bijliride will scale vehicles based on delivery demand and rider onboarding, so no fixed fleet size has been announced. Riders get commercial rental plans, battery swapping, doorstep battery delivery and maintenance support. Announced on 8 October 2026.

Evfy has not seen the fleet size, rental pricing or vehicle models disclosed, and we flag those gaps below.

What Bijliride and Flipkart Minutes have announced

Bijliride has announced a partnership with Flipkart Minutes to put electric two-wheelers on delivery routes in five metros. The deployment will be rolled out in phases rather than all at once, and the company says it will adjust vehicle availability as delivery volumes and rider onboarding change.

The announcement ties into Flipkart's plan to move to 100% electric mobility by 2030 and integrates with its EV Assist initiative, a marketplace for delivery partners that we cover further down.

Bijliride and Flipkart Minutes have also introduced festive rental benefits and prioritised vehicle availability. The stated aim is to help riders put in more on-road hours without being held up by maintenance. The specific benefits have not been spelled out.

What Bijliride will provide to delivery riders

Bijliride runs what it calls a full-stack rental model, so the partnership covers more than handing over a scooter. Here is what the company says riders and the platform get.

Bijliride CEO and co-founder Shivam Sisodiya said vehicle uptime directly affects a delivery partner's livelihood. He said the company's on-road support, battery infrastructure and rental services are built to give economic value to both delivery platforms and delivery executives.

The company also says the model cuts a rider's operating cost per kilometre, since fuel is one of the biggest recurring expenses on a petrol two-wheeler. That is a company claim, and it has not published the per-kilometre numbers.

Where this fits in Flipkart's EV push

Flipkart has been building its electric delivery programme for a while, and the Bijliride tie-up sits inside that effort. Everything in the table below is as stated by Flipkart.

EV Assist lets riders browse electric two-wheeler rental options by city and weekly budget, drawing on verified fleet operators and rental providers in one place. Bijliride is one such provider. The ₹1,000 to ₹2,000-plus weekly range is Flipkart's figure for EV Assist overall, not a Bijliride price.

Flipkart also cites industry estimates that electric two-wheelers can cut fuel and energy costs by up to 70% to 80%, and that lower maintenance can lift a delivery partner's income by 15% to 20%. These are estimates quoted by the company, not Evfy-verified numbers.

Bijliride's fleet today, and the target it set earlier

Bijliride says it has 6,000+ electric vehicles deployed across India. In June 2026 the company reported a fleet of more than 5,000 electric two-wheelers, scaled from three scooters in 2021, and described itself as a mobility partner to several quick-commerce and delivery brands.

Its vehicle supply comes in part from BGauss. In December 2025 the two companies announced a plan for BGauss to supply 7,000 electric scooters, including the C12i Max and Oowah, on top of a 3,000-vehicle base, taking the fleet to 10,000 electric two-wheelers by December 2026. The announcement for this Flipkart Minutes deal does not name which vehicles will be used.

On the business side, Bijliride reported revenue of ₹18 crore in FY2025, up from ₹10 crore in FY2024, with a ₹44 crore target for its next phase. It has also said it aims to scale to 1,00,000 electric two-wheelers by 2030. All of these are company-stated figures.

Bijliride vs Zypp: two delivery-fleet rental platforms compared

Bijliride is not the only platform renting EVs to delivery riders. Zypp Electric, based in Gurugram, runs a much larger fleet. The table compares what each company has stated publicly.

Zypp is roughly five times larger on stated fleet size, so Bijliride is the smaller player in this pairing. Both figures are company-stated and not independently verified.

What has not been disclosed

The announcement leaves several things open. Evfy will update this post if either company shares more.

• Number of vehicles in this deployment, and how it splits across the five cities
• Rental rates, deposit and swap charges for Flipkart Minutes riders
• Vehicle models and battery specs to be deployed
• Start date for each city and the length of the festive benefits
• Whether the festive rental benefits extend beyond the festive season
• Number of swap points and charging hubs in each metro

Evfy's Take

The detail worth noticing is the fleet model. Bijliride is scaling on demand rather than committing to a fixed number, and Flipkart is acting as a marketplace through EV Assist rather than announcing an order. Nothing in the announcement says Flipkart is buying or owning these vehicles. Our reading is that both sides are keeping the model asset-light, which makes sense for a seasonal delivery peak but also means the headline has no vehicle count behind it.

There is also some arithmetic worth keeping in mind, and it is Evfy's own, not Bijliride's. In December 2025 the company set a target of 10,000 vehicles by December 2026. With 6,000+ on the road now, that implies roughly 4,000 more in under three months. We cannot confirm the target still stands, since later company statements speak of 10,000 vehicles without a date. If it does, the festive demand from Flipkart Minutes and other quick-commerce clients will need to carry a lot of that growth.

Finally, this is a useful data point on where electric two-wheeler volume is heading. Fleet and gig-delivery use is a place where running-cost savings are easiest to prove, and state policy is starting to push in the same direction.
