JK Lakshmi Cement has partnered with SwitchLabs Automobiles to introduce electric vehicles (EVs) into its logistics operations. The EVs will operate between the company’s JK Puram plant in Sirohi, Rajasthan, and the Kalol grinding unit in Gujarat.
The partnership follows a pilot project that demonstrated reduced emissions and maintained operational efficiency. Based on these results, JK Lakshmi Cement is expanding the use of EVs in its supply chain.
