Jindal Stainless Deploys 10 Electric Trucks for Finished Goods Transportation

Jindal Stainless has deployed 10 dedicated electric trucks for finished goods transportation for the first time. The move is part of the company’s plan to reduce emissions from logistics and gradually adopt cleaner transport solutions.

The newly deployed vehicles will operate on routes connecting the company’s Jajpur plant in Odisha with Kharagpur and Kolkata in West Bengal. The company plans to expand the use of electric and alternative-fuel vehicles on suitable routes, depending on transport requirements.

Jindal Stainless Expands Its Green Truck Fleet

The deployment of 10 electric trucks is part of a wider shift towards lower-emission transportation. Jindal Stainless already operates 80 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks to move finished goods from its Jajpur and Hisar facilities to western India.

The company has also started deploying compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks to transport imported cargo from Dhamra port to Jajpur. In addition, it operates 60 CNG buses for employee transportation at its Hisar and Jajpur facilities. These steps show how the company is using different vehicle technologies to reduce the environmental impact of its logistics operations.

Around 71 Tonnes of CO₂ Savings Expected Per Month

Jindal Stainless expects its electric and alternative-fuel vehicle initiatives to handle around 8,000–10,000 tonnes of cargo every month. Based on an estimated monthly green dispatch volume of 8,000–9,000 tonnes and approximately 240,000 km of truck travel, the combined electric, LNG and CNG fleet is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by around 71 tonnes per month.

According to the company, this represents an estimated 26% reduction compared with diesel-based transportation under regular operating conditions. These figures are estimates based on the company's operating assumptions, rather than independently verified savings.

Company Plans Further Expansion

Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director of Jindal Stainless, said the company wants to extend its sustainability efforts beyond manufacturing and into its logistics and supply chain. The company plans to introduce more electric and alternative-fuel vehicles on routes where they are operationally suitable.

For businesses moving finished goods, the use of trucks with alternative powertrains can be one way to reduce dependence on conventional diesel transport. The practical benefits depend on route distance, vehicle utilisation, energy costs and the availability of supporting infrastructure. Jindal Stainless' latest deployment is an additional step in its wider environmental programme, which also includes energy efficiency, renewable energy use and resource circularity.
