Uber Technologies is reportedly in early discussions to acquire BluSmart Mobility, a Gurugram-based electric vehicle (EV) ride-hailing startup. The potential deal comes as BluSmart’s parent company, Gensol Engineering, faces financial challenges and explores exiting the capital-intensive EV business.
BluSmart’s Unique Model
Founded in 2019, BluSmart operates an all-electric fleet of over 5,000 vehicles across cities like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Unlike competitors such as Uber and Ola, BluSmart directly owns its fleet and manages its charging infrastructure. While this model promotes sustainability and premium services, it has led to high operational costs.
Strategic Fit for Uber
Acquiring BluSmart could help Uber expand its EV footprint in India, complementing its “Uber Green” initiative and plans to deploy 25,000 Tata EVs. BluSmart’s fleet and charging network would provide a strategic edge as Uber competes with rivals like Ola and Rapido in the growing EV market.
Financial Pressures on BluSmart
Despite raising over $109 million in funding, BluSmart has struggled with profitability due to high capital expenditures and delays in government EV subsidies. Gensol Engineering’s liquidity issues have further fueled speculation about a potential sale.
Denial of Acquisition Talks
BluSmart has denied any ongoing discussions with Uber, calling such reports speculative. However, industry experts believe the acquisition could reshape India’s EV ride-hailing sector if finalized.
Conclusion
While no deal has been confirmed, Uber’s interest in BluSmart underscores the growing competition in India’s EV mobility space. If successful, this acquisition could strengthen Uber’s sustainability goals while addressing BluSmart’s financial challenges.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any approach you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!

I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
