Routematic Cuts 8,348 Tonnes CO₂ In 2025 Via AI & EV Commutes

Routematic on Tuesday announced a cumulative reduction of 8,348 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2025 across the country’s busiest corporate corridors. The milestone highlights the transformative role that AI-optimised routing, shared mobility models, and EV adoption can play in reducing urban emissions and enhancing corporate ESG performance.

The company, in a statement, said that significant CO₂ reductions were achieved across India’s major technology and business hubs: 2,174.9 tonnes in Delhi-NCR, 2,007 tonnes in Hyderabad, 1,914.5 tonnes in Pune, 1,650.8 tonnes in Bengaluru, 494.2 tonnes in Chennai, and 107.2 tonnes in Mumbai. Together, these reductions represent a climate benefit equivalent to planting over 375,000 trees annually or eliminating emissions from more than 1,800 cars per year, providing clear proof of how commute optimisation can help reduce India’s vehicular emissions.

Routematic currently facilitates over 3.5 lakh daily employee rides across leading IT/ITeS, GCC, BFSI and new age enterprises, making it one of India’s largest and most impactful employee transport networks. The company’s latest sustainability milestone comes at a particularly important time, as major Indian cities continue to grapple with severe and persistent air-pollution levels. Transportation remains one of the country’s biggest pollution contributors, accounting for nearly 14% of India’s CO2 emissions, with road transport alone responsible for almost 90% of this share.

Given that employee commute forms a substantial portion of daily vehicular movement in large metros and as India moves towards its 2070 net-zero goals, enterprises are increasingly embracing technology-enabled employee transport solutions that lower carbon footprints without compromising employee safety, wellbeing and productivity.

Sriram Kannan, Founder & CEO of Routematic, said: “Employee commute is one of India’s most overlooked contributors to urban air pollution, and it must become a central pillar of the country’s pollution-control strategy. Our data shows that when artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and shared mobility work in tandem, corporates can deliver measurable climate impact while offering safe and reliable commutes to their employees. This milestone reinforces our commitment to supporting corporate India in its sustainability journey and accelerating the country’s progress toward net-zero.”

This year’s sustainability milestone builds on Routematic’s accelerated expansion following its USD 40 million Series C funding in May 2025, led by global climate-focused investors Fullerton Carbon Action Fund and Shift4Good. The investment is enabling the company to scale its electric vehicle fleet, enhance AI capabilities, and expand its network of 24*7 Operations Command Centres to support an increasing number of clients across India. The company is also strengthening its driver ecosystem with a strong focus on employing women drivers across India.
