The JSW Group has announced a partnership with Uber, the ridesharing app, for joint co-development and deployment of electric vehicles (EVs), tailored for the Indian ride hailing market. The companies say the shared goal is supporting and scaling EV adoption for mobility services in the country in alignment with India’s net-zero goals.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between Mr. Parth Jindal of JSW Group and Mr. Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO, at the JSW headquarters in Mumbai.

Uber says it continues to expand access to electric mobility in India as part of its broader commitment to building a more sustainable future for urban transportation. Through partnerships with automakers, fleet operators, and ecosystem players, Uber aims to increase the availability and adoption of EVs across multiple categories on its platform.

As part of the (MoU) signed between Uber and JSW Green Mobility – a wholly-owned company of JSW Group - the two companies will deploy EV solutions that align with the price and performance expectations of the Indian market. The partnership will focus on exploring opportunities to develop and scale localised EV solutions suited for use on the Uber platform in various categories, in line with the evolving needs of India’s mobility ecosystem.

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Parth Jindal of JSW Group, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Uber to explore scalable EV mobility solutions aligned with national net-zero goals for India. By combining Uber’s platform scale and mobility insights with JSW’s growing automotive and clean mobility ambitions, we hope to contribute meaningfully to India’s EV ecosystem.”

Mr. Prabhjeet Singh, President, Uber India and South Asia, said: “India’s transition to electric mobility requires strong ecosystem partnerships across technology platforms, automakers, fleet operators, and infrastructure players. Through this collaboration with JSW Group, we aim to help accelerate the adoption of EVs on the Uber platform by exploring solutions purpose-built for the needs of Indian riders and drivers. This partnership also reflects our continued commitment to supporting the Government of India’s vision of advancing green and sustainable mobility at scale.”
