Yulu launched its shared mobility service in Noida on September 2, 2024, extending its reach to the 11th city in its national network. The initiative facilitates technology-driven, environmentally sustainable, and cost-effective hyperlocal deliveries. This expansion aligns with Yulu’s strategic agenda to consolidate its footprint in the Delhi-NCR region and synchronize with Uttar Pradesh’s EV Manufacturing and Mobility Policy.
Strategic hub for Noida Expansion
Noida’s robust economy, large consumer base, and rapidly developing tech infrastructure create an optimal environment for the implementation of Yulu’s shared electric vehicle (EV) services. With a thriving consumer class and a burgeoning quick commerce and food delivery sector, Noida presents a strategic market for Yulu’s sustainable hyperlocal delivery solutions, as stated in the company’s press release.
“We are excited to bring Yulu to Noida, a city that embraces technology and innovation. Noida’s infrastructural growth and digital economy make it a perfect fit for our sustainable e-mobility services. The love and goodwill received by Yulu in Delhi and Gurugram in the national capital region make us confident about speedily winning both mindshare and market-share in Noida as well,” said Amit Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO of Yulu.
“Having grown up in Uttar Pradesh, I have personally witnessed the state’s urban transformation as well as its determination to become future-ready by adopting progressive and sustainable solutions. Yulu will not only support the UP government’s efforts to promote greener logistics but foster an ecosystem of clean, affordable, and accessible mobility. We look forward to empowering gig workers with convenient and cost-effective EV solutions while supporting businesses in their journey toward fleet electrification,” Gupta added.

As Yulu expands its operations in Noida, it is also evaluating the potential to extend its people and goods mobility services to other cities in the state, such as Lucknow, Varanasi, and Agra, leveraging its Yulu Business Partner franchise initiative.
The strategic expansion into Noida aligns with Yulu’s objective to tap into the city’s high-tech environment and affluent consumer base. The new service seeks to offer sustainable, cost-effective, and convenient mobility solutions, benefiting the region’s individual gig workers and businesses.
