Third Party Logistics firm Ekart, has announced a partnership with IKEA for the global home furnishing brand’s last-mile logistics in Chennai.

Orders from Chennai, placed on the IKEA’s website and app, will now be fulfilled by Ekart’s 100 per cent electric vehicle (EV) fleet. 

Chennai is the second major city where Ekart manages IKEA’s deliveries, following the partnership’s launch in NCR-Delhi in 2025.

Ekart will enable deliveries within a 48-hour window and will also provide customers with real-time tracking.

“Our expanded partnership with IKEA reflects Ekart’s strength in building and operating enterprise-grade, specialised supply chain solutions for leading global retail brands. As large-format retail continues to scale in India, the need for reliable, technology-led logistics partners is becoming increasingly critical. Through dedicated infrastructure and an EV-led last-mile network, we are focused on delivering consistent, sustainable logistics solutions at scale,” Mani Bhushan, Chief Business Officer, Ekart, said. 

“By combining operational scale with an EV-led last-mile model, this partnership also supports our ambition to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high service standards. We look forward to deepening this collaboration as we expand our footprint across India,” Saiba Suri, Country Customer Fulfilment Manager, IKEA India.
