Electric vehicle adoption in employee transport fleets can lower fuel use and operating costs, according to data from corporate mobility firm Routematic, as global fuel prices remain volatile due to geopolitical tensions.
The company said its deployment of over 400 EVs in Bengaluru and Pune saves about 65,400 litres of fuel every 15 days. At current fuel prices of around Rs 100 per litre, this equals nearly Rs 65 lakh in savings over the same period.On an annual basis, Routematic estimates its EV fleet can avoid over 15.7 lakh litres of fuel consumption, translating to projected savings exceeding Rs 15 crore, assuming stable fuel prices.
The firm said the estimates are based on operational data from existing deployments and reflect the financial impact of partial electrification. It added that a complete shift to EVs could further improve cost efficiency.

Routematic noted that employee transport services, where vehicles typically run 100–150 km daily on fixed routes, are suited for electrification due to predictable usage. Its EVs currently average about 120 km per day.
The company added that adoption of structured corporate commute systems remains limited, with over 60 per cent of Global Capability Centres in India lacking integrated solutions, based on its internal research.Founder and CEO Sriram Kannan said fuel price uncertainty is strengthening the case for electrification for cost stability and operational efficiency. Routematic operates an AI-based mobility platform that manages routing, scheduling, and fleet use, including EV battery and charging monitoring.
