Tata Motors today announced a partnership with Prakriti E-Mobility to deploy 500 Tigor EVs in New Delhi. Prakriti E-Mobility is an EV based taxi service co-founded by Nimish Trivedi, Vikas Bansal and Rajeev Tiwari.
Prakriti E-mobility will deploy the Tigor EVs on its app-based platform EVERA, which will serve in Delhi/NCR, reinforcing its commitment to service clients while enhancing sustainability. The first batch of over 160 Tigor EVs is expected to hit the road by January 2020.

Tata Motors’ latest addition of Tigor EV comes with an ARAI-certified range of 213 kms, offers an enhanced driving range, low cost of ownership, connectivity, comfort of a sedan and zero emissions.
Prakriti E-mobility claims that the EVERA app will allow users to book cabs that are all-electric. As a result, their journey will give off no emissions and will help reduce the carbon footprint one journey at a time. Some of the key features of the EVERA app includes -
- Zero Surge Charge: No amount of traffic or demand will bring about a change in the cost of the journey. As a result, customers can book cabs without worrying about absurd prices.
- Zero Cancellations: Our driver can’t cancel the trip and only our customers have the ability to cancel their trip.
- Zero Emissions: As our fleet is all-electric, there will be no emissions in their lifespan. As a result, cities will eventually be able to breathe easy without worrying about toxic fumes from exhaust pipes.
