Chhattisgarh unable to roll out buses under PM‑eBus Sewa scheme

The state of Chhattisgarh has reported a shortfall in implementing the PM‑eBus Sewa scheme, a central government initiative aimed at introducing electric buses across Indian cities. While the programme promises funding and technical support for electric bus fleets, officials say that no buses have been commissioned in the state so far. The delay has raised questions about the state's readiness to meet the scheme’s deployment timelines. State transport authorities are reportedly reviewing procurement procedures to align with the programme’s requirements. The central government has urged all participating states to accelerate roll‑out to achieve the national goal of cleaner public transport.
