New Delhi: ARC Electric is a electric-first cab service for corporate customers, that offers reliable, environmentally-friendly rides without surge pricing. The use cases are for say intercity business travel or airport pick ups and drops. The ARC Alliance platform provides cab service across multiple cities for corporate clients, that includes local electric cab operators as well. Technology forms the backbone of the operations, with cloud-based platforms monitoring driver behaviour, vehicle performance and battery health in realtime. For environmentally conscious corporates, this translates to a measurable drop in carbon footprint, as well as cost savings of up to 25 per cent. The scale of the operations is staggering, but there is plenty of room for growth as well.

CEO and Co-Founder of ARC Electric Abhinav Kalia says, “The corporate mobility market in India is estimated at $31 billion, growing at a 24 per cent CAGR, which highlights its massive potential. With increasing urban congestion, rising fuel costs, and a sharp focus on ESG compliance, corporates are under pressure to rethink mobility strategies. EV-first fleets offer a direct solution to these challenges, making the segment one of the fastest-growing niches within the EV ecosystem. At ARC Electric, we envision scaling to 5,000+ EVs across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities within the next 18–24 months, significantly expanding our footprint in corporate hubs like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and NCR. Our aim is not just market penetration but to set benchmarks in operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. We believe B2B fleets will account for a significant share of EV adoption in India by 2030, and with our proven model, we are well-positioned to lead this transformation.”

Innovative technologies infused with intelligence are poised to transform the sector. Kalia explains, “The future of corporate EV mobility lies at the intersection of clean energy and intelligent systems. Smart charging will be vital to ensure fleets charge efficiently during non-peak hours, reducing grid stress and lowering costs. In the longer run, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) will enable fleets to act as distributed energy resources, supplying power back to the grid and creating new revenue streams for businesses. Equally promising is the role of blockchain in carbon credit monetization, allowing transparent, verifiable tracking of emissions saved through EV adoption. Corporates will not just benefit from reduced costs but also from generating tradable climate assets, aligning sustainability with profitability. While adoption of these technologies in India is still in its early stages, we anticipate rapid progress driven by government policy, urban energy demands, and corporate ESG mandates. Together, they will define how EV fleets evolve from being just mobility solutions to becoming integral components of India’s clean energy ecosystem.”
