BMTC adds hundreds of electric buses to curb Bengaluru's air pollution
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has expanded its fleet with hundreds of new electric buses to help control the city’s air pollution.
The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has announced the addition of hundreds of new electric buses to its existing fleet of environmentally friendly vehicles. The expansion is part of the agency’s effort to reduce air pollution in the city by increasing the share of zero‑emission public transport.
The move aligns with Bengaluru’s broader strategy to improve air quality, as electric buses produce no tailpipe emissions and help lower the concentration of harmful pollutants in the urban atmosphere.
By integrating the new electric buses, BMTC aims to strengthen its green transport network and provide commuters with a cleaner, more sustainable travel option. Officials expect the increased fleet to contribute significantly to the city’s air‑quality improvement goals.
The addition of these vehicles underscores BMTC’s commitment to modernising public transport while addressing environmental concerns in the rapidly growing metropolis.
