The Rajasthan government plans to introduce 1,150 electric buses across the state, with Jaipur earmarked for the largest share of 450. So far, 229 e‑buses have been delivered to the capital.
The state transport department of Rajasthan has announced a rollout of 1,150 electric buses to modernise public transport and cut emissions. Jaipur will receive the highest allocation, with 450 e‑buses slated for the city’s fleet.
As of the latest update, 229 electric buses have already been delivered to Jaipur, marking the first phase of the project. The buses are expected to start regular service in the coming weeks, pending final safety checks and driver training.
The initiative is part of Rajasthan’s broader green mobility strategy, which aims to replace diesel‑powered vehicles with cleaner alternatives. Officials say the e‑bus network will improve air quality and reduce fuel costs for commuters.
State authorities have not disclosed the exact timeline for the remaining 921 buses, but the procurement schedule suggests staggered deliveries over the next two years. The government will also set up charging infrastructure at key depots to support the new fleet.
Transport officials emphasized that the e‑bus program aligns with national commitments under the Paris Agreement and will serve as a model for other Indian states seeking sustainable public transport solutions.
