Swedish furniture giant Ikea announced on Tuesday that it is testing same-day delivery in Hyderabad, with plans to expand the service to all its markets in the next year. Additionally, the company has reached the milestone of 100% EV-powered deliveries in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune, aligning with its commitment to a sustainable value chain, according to a statement from Ikea India.
Ikea also aims to achieve the same goal in Mumbai soon, where it expects to reach carbon-free deliveries in the coming months.
Ikea plans to adopt an “EV-first” approach as it expands into new markets, including Delhi-NCR, where its next store is slated to open, as part of its sustainability strategy.
At present, Ikea has stores in Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, and Bengaluru, along with two city stores in Mumbai.
Ikea India CEO Susanne Pulverer remarked, “Creating a sustainable value chain is essential to our growth at Ikea. This milestone is just the beginning of our efforts, and we are proud to lead the EV transition from our early days in India. We firmly believe that profit and sustainability can go hand-in-hand, and we will continue to lead with this philosophy.”
