Adani Total Gas and Flipkart signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for decarbonising solutions, aiding Flipkart’s journey to switch to cleaner fuel options including natural gas and the introduction of electric vehicles.

Under the MoU, Adani Total Gas will work with Flipkart to support its vision to reduce carbon footprint in the primary, secondary and tertiary movements of goods between sourcing locations, warehouses and customers, says an official release from Adani.
