Uber Green will now be available in three cities – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru – starting June 2023.
Uber Green allows passengers to request an all-electric, zero tailpipe emission vehicle rather than a regular fossil-fuelled car, bringing to India an on-demand EV experience with just a few taps on the app.
Uber Green is the most widely available on-demand mobility solution in the world for no or low-emission rides, present in 100+ cities in 15 countries around the world.
Uber has also made some other industry announcements related to the EV sector.
Fleet Partner Expansion – To unlock EV growth on its platform, it is expanding our network of fleet partners.

EV Financing – Uber has signed an MoU with India’s largest Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), the MoU makes Rupees 1000 Cr of low interest loans available to our fleet partners for fleet partners to purchase EV and CNG vehicles.
EV Charging Infrastructure – Uber is bringing its global mobility agreement with BP pulse to India in partnership with JioBP for fast-charging Uber EVs and also tying up with GMR Green to further enhance the changing infrastructure network for Uber EVs.
