- Review CNG-linked fleet exposure across last-mile, store replenishment and employee transport contracts.
- Reprice delivery economics through minimum-order thresholds, zone-based fees, batching incentives and subscription benefits rather than broad product-price increases.
- Accelerate EV, electric three-wheeler and multi-fuel fleet allocation on dense Delhi-NCR routes.

- Protect price-sensitive demand with targeted promotions on essential baskets while preserving margin on convenience-led delivery orders.
