The state transport corporation Haryana Roadways will receive 500 new buses, boosting its fleet capacity.
Haryana Roadways, the state‑run transport service, has announced that it will add 500 new buses to its fleet, according to a report in The Tribune. The procurement is expected to take place over the coming months as part of the corporation’s modernization plan.
The new vehicles will augment the existing fleet, which is currently strained by rising passenger demand across the state’s urban and rural routes. By expanding capacity, the corporation aims to improve service frequency and reduce overcrowding on popular corridors.
Details of the purchase indicate that the buses will be sourced from multiple manufacturers, adhering to the latest emission and safety standards. Funding for the acquisition is being drawn from the state’s transport budget, reflecting a continued focus on public‑transport infrastructure.
The rollout of the additional buses aligns with Haryana’s broader objective to promote sustainable mobility and encourage commuters to shift from private vehicles to reliable public transport options.
