Gujarat Chief Minister inaugurated a fleet of 30 electric buses under the central PM‑eBus Sewa programme, riding one of the buses as a passenger.
Gujarat's Chief Minister officially flagged off a batch of thirty electric buses today, marking the state's participation in the centrally funded PM‑eBus Sewa initiative. The ceremony took place with the CM boarding one of the new buses as a passenger, underscoring the government's commitment to sustainable public transport.
The e‑buses are expected to operate on key routes across the state, offering commuters a cleaner alternative to diesel‑powered vehicles. Each bus is equipped with lithium‑ion batteries and charging infrastructure provided under the national scheme, aiming to reduce urban air pollution and fuel costs.
The PM‑eBus Sewa programme, launched by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, seeks to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in Indian cities. Gujarat's addition of 30 buses aligns with the state's broader green transport agenda and its targets for lowering carbon emissions.
State officials said the fleet will be monitored for performance and passenger feedback before further expansions are considered. The rollout is part of a coordinated effort between the central and state governments to meet India's climate commitments.
The event highlights a growing trend among Indian states to adopt electric public transport solutions, positioning Gujarat as a proactive participant in the country's shift toward cleaner mobility.
