An electric heavy-duty truck has begun moving cement in West Bengal. Tejas Cargo India Limited is running the Blue Energy Motors-built vehicle for Dalmia Cement's transport work in Raniganj, per an announcement dated 16 September 2026.
Three Companies, One Mission
The arrangement links three players. Dalmia Cement needs its product moved. Tejas Cargo handles the running of the truck. Blue Energy Motors supplied the electric vehicle. The companies say the goal is to cut emissions from transporting goods.
All three see this as part of a wider change. Electric heavy trucks are no longer test vehicles. They are doing daily commercial work in India's industrial economy.
Why Logistics Emissions Matter
Moving goods is a major source of Scope 3 emissions for businesses in India. Firms that have cleaned up their factories are now looking at their supply chains. Logistics is the next big target.
Bringing a cement maker, a logistics operator and a truck builder together for electric freight shows how serious this shift has become. Cement and infrastructure are viewed as promising sectors for these vehicles.
What the Leaders Said
Chander Bindal, Chairman and Managing Director of Tejas Cargo, said his firm expects greener transport to take up a bigger share of freight work ahead. He confirmed the electric truck will serve Dalmia Cement's needs.
Anand Mimani, who leads the EV and New Energy Business at Blue Energy Motors, said cleaning up freight is vital to bring down total emissions. He added that buyers now judge electric heavy trucks on performance, reliability and running costs in real commercial use.
Blue Energy's Fleet Keeps Expanding
Blue Energy Motors reports that over 1,400 of its green heavy-duty trucks are active on major freight routes across the country. Collectively, they have clocked more than 122 million kilometres, the company says.
It also claims its vehicles have prevented over 33,000 tonnes of CO₂ from entering the air. The maker compares that to what around 1.3 million trees would absorb. Its range covers both electric and LNG trucks, sold alongside energy-as-a-service plans and upkeep support.
The Road Ahead
This Raniganj deployment joins a growing number of electric heavy-truck projects in Indian industry. More partnerships between vehicle makers, transporters and factory owners are likely.
Whether such trucks succeed will come down to cost per kilometre and uptime in tough daily routes like cement haulage. For now, electric freight in India is clearly picking up speed.
