Evera Cabs takes over 500 BluSmart EVs, aims for expansion

Electric cab operator Evera Cabs, run by Prakriti Mobility, has begun the repossession of 500 electric vehicles previously operated by BluSmart, which recently suspended operations in major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

With 220 cabs already integrated into its fleet and 280 more in the process of being reclaimed, Evera is positioning itself as a dominant player in the electric mobility space, especially in the high-demand airport segment of the national capital region. Evera said its repossession of BluSmart's cabs through its lenders is part of a multi-stage strategic plan.

"What we’re executing is not just a scale-up, it is a realignment of the electric mobility narrative in India," said Nimish Trivedi, co-founder and CEO of Evera.

"As key players recalibrate, Evera is stepping forward with clear intent, absorbing proven EV assets and trusted drivers to ensure uninterrupted service across key routes...We’re building a stronger, smarter, and more resilient network for the future. Beyond continuity, our strategy propels leadership, speed, and setting a new benchmark in clean, premium urban transport. Our commitment is to ensure zero disruption for commuters and to elevate their experience through seamless service, operational depth, and an uncompromising focus on sustainability," Trivedi added.

Focus shifts to airport cab services

Evera, which has operated in the B2B segment since 2022, is known for its all-electric, app-based taxi services at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Until recently, it provided rides only from Terminal 3, but with the integration of the BluSmart fleet, Evera plans to expand coverage across all airport terminals. This move is expected to improve both cab availability and service turnaround times for travellers.

In addition to the fleet acquisition, Evera is onboarding a significant number of BluSmart drivers. The company confirmed that about 150 drivers have already started operating under the Evera brand, with ongoing efforts to scale recruitment. Around 10% of the new drivers joining the platform are women.

BluSmart's exit follows a ban by market regulator SEBI on Gensol Engineering and its promoters, Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi, over allegations of fund diversion and governance issues. The regulatory action forced BluSmart to halt services in key metros, sparking driver unrest over unpaid dues and job losses.
