BluSmart India, a leading electric mobility and ride-hailing platform, has issued a statement addressing recent media speculation about a potential exit from its core cab-hailing business. The company emphasized continuity in its operations and urged stakeholders to rely on verified information.
In a holding statement released today, BluSmart said:
“We urge stakeholders not to draw conclusions based on unverified information. BluSmart continues to operate as usual — all our vehicles and driver partners are fully on the road, actively engaged in serving our valued customers across cities. As a responsible organization, we will share an official update in due course. We thank our customers, partners, and stakeholders for their continued trust and support.”
The statement comes in response to reports circulating on platforms like X, suggesting that BluSmart might pivot from its consumer-facing ride-hailing service to focus solely on supplying electric vehicle fleets, potentially as a partner for global ride-hailing giant Uber. These reports, which gained traction on April 13, 2025, referenced BluSmart’s early roots as a fleet operator in 2019, before it expanded into a full-fledged ride-hailing platform.
Founded in 2019 by Anmol Jaggi and Punit Goyal, BluSmart has carved a niche in India’s urban mobility sector by offering eco-friendly, electric vehicle-based ride-hailing services in cities like Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru. The company operates a fleet of over 7,000 EVs and has completed more than 12 million trips, emphasizing safety, reliability, and sustainability. BluSmart’s model—which includes owning and managing its vehicles and employing drivers directly—contrasts with the asset-light, aggregator models of competitors like Ola and Uber.
The speculation about a strategic shift has sparked discussions within India’s rapidly growing electric vehicle (EV) and mobility sectors. Analysts note that the EV ride-hailing market faces challenges, including high operational costs and infrastructure bottlenecks, but BluSmart’s focus on sustainability and customer experience has earned it a loyal base. Posts on X also highlight the company’s recent efforts to reinforce safety protocols, such as its response to a December 2024 robbery incident involving a rider, which underscored its commitment to rider security.
BluSmart’s statement aims to reassure customers and investors that its operations remain unaffected. The company’s promise of an “official update in due course” suggests a strategic announcement may be forthcoming, potentially clarifying its long-term vision amid competitive pressures and evolving market dynamics.
As India’s EV market continues to expand—projected to grow at a CAGR of 44.5% through 2030, according to industry reports—BluSmart’s next moves will be closely watched. For now, the company remains focused on serving its customers while navigating the complexities of a transformative industry.
