Delhi’s Electric Cab Scene Gets a Big Shake-up
Something interesting is happening in Delhi’s taxi world. Evera Cabs is quickly taking over electric taxis and drivers from BluSmart, which suddenly stopped working in April 2025. According to Outlook Business, this move is changing how you might travel around Delhi, especially if you use airport taxis or prefer electric vehicles.
The Big Move
Nimish Trivedi, who started Evera, is leading this change. He said, “As key players recalibrate, Evera is stepping forward with clear intent, absorbing proven EV assets and trusted drivers to ensure uninterrupted service across key routes.” This means Evera is picking up the pieces after BluSmart stopped working, like a friend helping another who dropped their groceries.
Evera has already welcomed 150 drivers who previously worked with BluSmart. These drivers are already taking passengers around Delhi. The company has also bought 220 electric cars from BluSmart and plans to get even more – up to 500 cars in the first step, according to Business-Standard.
The Numbers Behind the Change
- YourStory reports that Evera might eventually get up to 1,000 cars from BluSmart to become stronger at Delhi’s airports.
- Before stopping, BluSmart had more than 8,500 electric cars running in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, according to Times of India (TOI).
- GulfBusiness stated that BluSmart held about 9% of Delhi’s electric taxi market in 2023.
- About 10% of the drivers Evera is hiring are women, showing the company’s commitment to diversity.
Why BluSmart Stopped Working
- TOI reported that SEBI (India’s stock market watchdog) found money problems connected to Gensol Engineering, which is linked to BluSmart’s founders.
- The investigation showed that some money meant for buying electric cars was used wrongly – even for buying a luxury apartment.
- SEBI stopped BluSmart’s founders from working in the stock market or sitting on company boards.
- FinancialExpress noted that BluSmart couldn’t pay its debts, and drivers protested because they weren’t getting their money.
- TOI also mentioned BluSmart was looking at partnerships with other platforms like Uber to keep some cars running.
What This Means for Delhi
For you as a traveler, this change means Evera will fill the gap left by BluSmart, especially at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Evera plans to cover all airport terminals soon. This is good news if you care about using clean transportation, as these electric cabs make less pollution than regular taxis.
Evera serves both business customers and regular people like you through their app-based service. This quick move to take over BluSmart’s assets shows how fast things can change in the transportation world.
As you watch this story unfold, the big question is whether Evera can successfully grow from this opportunity and become Delhi’s new electric cab leader.
