Revolutionizing Last-Mile Delivery with NEXO
EMO Energy, a deep energy-tech startup backed by Gruhas, Subhkam, and Transition VC, has unveiled NEXO—a fully integrated energy ecosystem designed to transform the efficiency and cost structure of last-mile delivery operations in India. With the initial rollout targeting 100 dark stores across Bengaluru and Delhi/NCR, NEXO brings together solar power, advanced battery storage, fast chargers, and energy management software into a seamless platform tailored for the quick-commerce sector.
Tackling Fragmentation in EV Energy Infrastructure
India’s EV energy landscape has long struggled with fragmentation, as delivery operators juggle multiple vendors for batteries, charging infrastructure, and monitoring software. This siloed approach often leads to compatibility issues, operational inefficiencies, and rising costs. NEXO addresses these challenges by vertically integrating every component of the energy supply chain—from renewable energy inputs and battery packs to charging stations and health management software—ensuring all elements work in perfect sync.
Key Highlights of NEXO:
- Combines solar power, battery storage, vehicle batteries, and fast chargers on one platform
- Managed by advanced health and energy management software
- Enables 25% energy savings and 40% cost reduction at the dark store level
- Supports over 6,400 battery-powered vehicles and 900+ fast chargers across 200+ dark stores
Optimizing Costs for Quick-Commerce Operators
As quick-commerce continues to scale, operational costs—rent, manpower, inventory, and especially energy—are rising rapidly. According to Sheetanshu Tyagi, Co-founder & CEO of EMO Energy, “Energy remains the only controllable lever that can be optimised and can stabilise the operating cost for quick commerce players.” NEXO’s integrated approach not only streamlines energy sourcing and usage but also delivers measurable cost savings, making it a critical tool for delivery operators looking to remain competitive.
Scaling Up for Sustainable Urban Logistics
Building on its existing nationwide network, EMO Energy’s NEXO will initially serve 100 dark stores in two major urban regions, with plans to expand further. The company’s infrastructure already supports thousands of battery-powered vehicles and hundreds of fast chargers, positioning EMO as a leader in sustainable, scalable energy solutions for India’s booming last-mile delivery market.
With NEXO, EMO Energy is setting a new benchmark for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in urban logistics—helping businesses cut costs while accelerating the shift to clean mobility.
