Oor Cabs is a Trichy-based electric vehicle startup that owns and operates a fleet of 40 e-autorickshaws, providing up to 500 rides per day through WhatsApp and a dedicated mobile application. The company employs salaried drivers, including 16 women, and is developing AI-powered fleet-positioning tools to reduce passenger wait times and better match the 1,100 daily ride requests it currently receives. With fresh capital, Oor Cabs plans to add at least 300 additional e-autorickshaws across Tamil Nadu within a year, including 100 new vehicles in Trichy before May 2026. Expansion targets include tier-II cities such as Madurai, Tirunelveli, Karaikudi, and Thanjavur, where demand for green mobility is growing. Part of the funding will go toward establishing three charging stations in Trichy, with future plans for solar-powered charging infrastructure to achieve net-zero emissions. The company’s focus on salaried employment, particularly for women drivers, positions it as both a mobility and social-impact venture. The recent state investment marks a significant boost to its operational scale and sustainability initiatives.
