Adani Total Gas to help Flipkart reduce carbon footprint in supply chain

Mumbai-listed city gas distribution company Adani Total Gas (ATGL) on December 27 announced a collaboration with Indian e-commerce major Flipkart to help reduce the carbon footprint in its supply chain.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two companies outlines the commitment to environmental responsibility and outlines key initiatives to achieve carbon reduction across various stages of the supply chain.

According to the terms of the agreement, ATGL will collaborate with Flipkart to implement measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the primary, secondary, and tertiary movements of goods. This includes the transportation of products between sourcing locations, warehouses, and end customers. 

ATGL will play a role in providing decarbonising solutions, facilitating Flipkart's transition to cleaner fuel options such as natural gas. The collaboration also involves the introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) into Flipkart's fleet. Adani TotalEnergies E-Mobility, a wholly owned subsidiary of ATGL, will deploy EV charging infrastructure at Flipkart’s pan India supply chain, including at warehouses and logistics locations. 

ATGL, a joint venture between India's Adani Group and French TotalEnergies, holds authorisation to operate city gas networks in 33 geographical areas across India. The company, in collaboration with the state-owned Indian Oil Corporation, also operates in an additional 19 geographical areas.
