The rapid expansion of urban delivery vehicles in India as a result of rising freight demand will have a significant detrimental effect on the environment in the years ahead. To accomplish the objectives of rapid decarbonization, particularly from freight, there is a growing need to rely on recent technological advances in delivery systems, where electrification is critical. In the last 10 years, the Government of India has developed a lot of incentives for EVs. However, despite all these efforts, the market for EVs in India hasn’t picked up as expected, particularly in the urban freight segment. Through an empirical analysis in the city of Delhi, the present paper attempts to emphasize the preferences and constraints confronting urban freight operators in the adoption of EVs in their delivery operations. To calculate the weights of various barriers to EV adoption and potential solutions, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used. According to the study, EV adoption is hampered by a lack of universal charging infrastructure, short ranges, and restricted payload capacity, which prevents EVs from being widely used in the urban freight sector.
