This makes India’s largest order for electric vehicles. As per reports, Tata Motors will deliver these cars over the next 12-15 months.

Uber Partners With Tata Motors
Uber mentioned that it will partner with financiers. This will help medium and large-sized fleet operators on its platform to purchase these EVs by facilitating access to the vehicles in a supply-constrained environment. The EV rides will be available in the premium category. Uber also has plans to work with charge point operators. They aim to deploy fast chargers at airports and railway stations, as well as install home-charging solutions in low-income neighbourhoods or multi-housing units where driver partners typically reside.
