The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has sanctioned the purchase of 250 electric buses to modernise the state’s public transport fleet, aiming to reduce emissions and cut operating costs.
On 20 July 2024, the Uttar Pradesh cabinet approved the procurement of 250 electric buses for the state transport fleet. The decision is part of a broader strategy to reduce the fleet’s carbon footprint and lower long‑term operating expenses. The buses will be sourced through a competitive tender, with delivery expected to begin in early 2025 and complete by the end of 2026. The move aligns with the central government’s push for electric mobility and the state’s commitment to the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan.
