Adani Total Gas Limited (ATGL), the energy and city gas distribution firm of the Adani Group, and Flipkart on December 27 announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on reducing carbon footprint.
As per the MoU, AGTL will collaborate with Flipkart to achieve its objective of reducing carbon footprint in the primary, secondary, and tertiary transfers of goods between sourcing locations, warehouses and customers.
ATGL will provide decarbonising solutions, assisting Flipkart in its transition to cleaner fuel options like as natural gas and the launch of electric vehicles.
The press release also states that Adani TotalEnergies E-Mobility Limited (ATEL) will install EV charging infrastructure throughout Flipkart’s pan-India supply chain, including warehouses and logistical facilities. This collaboration will go a long way towards decarbonising the country’s e-commerce logistics market, which accounts for more than 8 million shipments every day.
