Kolkata | January 16, 2026
VertEV , a pan-India electric mobility company specializing in electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, launched its operations in Kolkata in strategic association with Aralias Agency LLP.
The launch marked an important milestone in VertEV’s nationwide expansion and reinforced the company’s focus on delivering clean, affordable, and accessible mobility solutions across major urban centres in India. Kolkata was identified as a key market due to its dense population and rapidly growing last-mile delivery ecosystem.
VertEV’s operations in Kolkata focused on electric two-wheelers and L5-category electric three-wheelers, catering to last-mile delivery partners, fleet operators, small businesses, and individual riders. The company introduced flexible rental and partner-led deployment models aimed at reducing high upfront costs and eliminating long-term financial commitments.
Under its B2C rental model, riders were offered electric two-wheelers at ₹210 per day, with a minimum seven-day rental of ₹1,470 per week. All transactions were conducted digitally through the company’s mobile application, ensuring a fully cashless process. Riders were also given the option to extend rentals using the same vehicle.
Each vehicle provided a minimum range of 80 km, which could extend up to 90–95 km with efficient usage. To support uninterrupted operations, riders were able to access public charging infrastructure across Kolkata, including commercial and hospitality locations.
Beyond vehicle rental, VertEV positioned its platform as an employment-generation initiative within the gig economy. Riders associated with delivery platforms such as Swiggy, Zomato, BigBasket, Blinkit, and Zepto were able to earn approximately ₹900–₹1,200 per day, without any down payment, EMI burden, or long-term liability. Riders retained the flexibility to return vehicles at any time.
VertEV provided maintenance, servicing, roadside assistance, and vehicle insurance as part of the rental framework at no additional cost. All riders were onboarded following mandatory KYC verification, including Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, and police verification.
For electric three-wheelers, the company adopted a B2B partner model, deploying vehicles with attached drivers through logistics platforms such as Porter, under structured revenue-sharing arrangements.
Commenting on the launch, Ravi Shekhar, Director, VertEV, said the partnership with Aralias Agency LLP brought strong local operational expertise, enabling reliable and scalable electric mobility services in Kolkata.
Shradhay Kasera, Partner, Aralias Agency LLP, stated that the collaboration aligned with their vision of promoting sustainable transportation while creating long-term value for businesses and delivery partners in the region.
Through its Kolkata launch, VertEV contributed to reducing urban emissions, supporting the gig economy, and advancing India’s 2030 zero-emission mobility goals, while continuing its phased expansion across key commercial hubs nationwide.
