Big win for BlackBuck.
Its arm, TZF Logistics, just got an RBI licence to issue digital wallets. That’s right—India’s logistics tech giant is now officially in the fintech game.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted TZF Logistics Solutions Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackBuck, the green light to operate as a Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) provider. This means TZF can now issue digital wallets—just like Paytm or PhonePe—but built for the trucking world.
What Does This Mean?
Simply put:
Truckers get wallets. BlackBuck gets power.
This move is not just about payments. It’s about control, efficiency, and innovation in a space that’s been stuck in the past.
Now imagine this:
- A truck driver completes a delivery and gets paid instantly—right into a TZF wallet.
- No bank delays. No cash hassles. No middlemen.
That’s the future BlackBuck is building.

Why It Matters for Logistics
India’s logistics sector runs on cash and chaos.
Fuel payments, tolls, FASTag recharges—truckers spend hours just managing money.
BlackBuck is flipping the script.
By launching its own digital wallet, the company now controls both the movement of goods and the movement of money.
Some real-world benefits:
- Faster payments to truckers
- Safer transactions—no risk of cash theft
- Simple tracking of every transaction
- Potential financial tools—like micro-loans and insurance tailored to drivers
What Is PPI Anyway?
PPI (Prepaid Payment Instrument) is just a fancy term for digital wallets. These let users pay for services, transfer money, and store value in an app or card. Think of it like a Paytm wallet, but custom-made for logistics needs.
To issue these legally in India, RBI approval is a must. That’s what TZF just got.
BlackBuck’s Bigger Plan
This isn’t a random fintech experiment.
It’s a power play.
BlackBuck wants to create a full-stack logistics ecosystem. That means not just finding you a truck—but also handling the payments, data, and financial services behind every move.
With the wallet, TZF becomes more than a tech company.
It becomes a financial layer for India’s logistics industry.
So, What’s Next?
Expect BlackBuck to go full throttle.
The next step? Most likely, financial services like:
- Credit lines for drivers
- Insurance built into the app
- Faster remittances for families back home
They’re building a “super app” for truckers.
And RBI’s nod just unlocked the next level.
