According to the press release, “BluSmart announces a groundbreaking multi-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Tata Power Trading Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Power, to source green power.”

BluSmart is India's largest born-electric, full-stack and fully integrated EV ride hailing service and EV charging infrastructure network. It has crossed $55 million in the annual revenue run-rate and is growing at more than 100% YoY.

This strategic collaboration marks a significant step towards BluSmart's commitment to decarbonize mobility at scale and bolster India’s net-zero ambitions, said the company.

Under the PPA, 30 MW capacity will be sourced by TPTCL from the company’s expansive 200 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Bikaner district, Rajasthan. TPTCL is uniquely positioned in the power trading industry with the Category-I Trading License enabling customers to optimize their energy costs and facilitate their sustainability goals.

Enabled the recently enacted green energy open access rules, this partnership with TPTCL allows BluSmart to completely eliminate scope 2 emissions from its existing 1.4 million square feet of EV charging infrastructure and future charging hubs. With this, BluSmart emerges as the first mobility player in India to transition from zero tailpipe emissions to a zero-emissions company
