JSW e-Mobility, a subsidiary of JSW Greentech will support the deployed fleet through a dedicated logistics corridor with four battery swapping stations between Nandyal and Vijaynagar. According to the company the project is expected to save approximately 4.5 crore litres of diesel, and reduce around 6250 tonnes of CO2 equivalent over the period of the contract.
