Uber on Tuesday (March 11, 2025) partnered with Refex Green Mobility to deploy 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) across key cities in India by 2026 to cater to the growing preference for sustainable mobility choices in cities. This collaboration is in line with the U.S.-based mobility company’s vision of 100% emission-free rides by 2040.

The deployment will see electric four-wheelers on-boarded onto the Uber platform across Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.

Refex Green Mobility Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chennai-headquartered Refex Industries Limited and it operates under the brand Refex eVeelz.

“Uber is committed to accelerating the shift to zero-emission mobility in India, and this partnership with Refex eVeelz is a significant step in that direction. It strengthens our efforts to electrify urban transportation, bringing more electric ride options to riders across many new cities in India. We remain focused on removing barriers to EV adoption and driving the transition to a greener future through partnerships that will build a sustainable future for all,” said Aditya Kapoor, Head, Supply and Electrification, Uber India and South Asia.

“As a company committed to driving the transition towards sustainable mobility, we are proud to partner with Uber to deliver electric solutions to more cities in India. This collaboration, in addition to our currently existing B2B as well as B2C operations with nearly 1,300 company-owned 4-wheeler EVs will help us contribute to reducing urban carbon emissions and will also play a key role in achieving India’s broader sustainability goals,” said Sachin Navtosh Jha, Chief of Staff, Refex Group.

Uber already launched Uber Green in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, which allows passengers to request an all-electric on-demand EV. Uber Green is available in over 100 cities across 15 countries.
