Tejas Cargo Deploys Blue Energy Motors’ Electric Truck for Dalmia Cement: A Green Freight Milestone

Cement and clean energy don’t usually share the same sentence — but that’s exactly what’s happening in Rajgangpur, Odisha. Tejas Cargo India has deployed a Blue Energy Motors electric heavy-duty truck to support Dalmia Cement’s logistics operations, marking a real-world test of electric trucking in one of India’s heaviest industries.

Announced on September 16, 2026, this isn’t just a pilot — it’s a signal that electric freight is ready for the kind of heavy lifting cement transport demands.

Why This Deployment Matters?

Freight transportation has become one of the biggest contributors to Scope 3 emissions — the indirect emissions companies generate across their supply chains rather than their own factories. As manufacturers look beyond their own operations to cut their carbon footprint, logistics is increasingly where the real work happens.

This collaboration brings together a manufacturer (Dalmia Cement), a logistics operator (Tejas Cargo), and an EV OEM (Blue Energy Motors) — showing what’s possible when the full supply chain commits to cleaner mobility rather than leaving it to a single link in the chain.

What the Leadership Had to Say?

Tejas Cargo’s Chairman and Managing Director, Chander Bindal, framed the move as part of a larger shift toward sustainable transportation shaping the logistics sector’s future. Blue Energy Motors’ Anand Mimani echoed that sentiment, pointing to electric heavy-duty trucks now delivering the performance and reliability commercial operations actually require — not just proving a concept, but working at scale.

Blue Energy Motors’ Track Record

Billed as India’s No. 1 Green Truck Brand, Blue Energy Motors already operates over 1,400 green heavy-duty trucks across major freight corridors nationwide. Collectively, its fleet has clocked more than 122 million green kilometres and cut over 33,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions — roughly equivalent to the carbon absorbed by 1.3 million trees, according to the Ministry of Heavy Industries’ EV push under India’s FAME scheme.

Conclusion

As Indian industry increasingly focuses on cutting Scope 3 emissions, deployments like this one show electric freight isn’t a future promise — it’s already moving cement across Odisha today. Expect more manufacturers to follow this playbook: pairing with EV-focused logistics partners to green their supply chains without overhauling their core operations.
