In an unprecedented move for the country, the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor in Indore is set to exclusively feature electric buses, replacing all diesel-run buses on the 11.45 km route.
Municipal Commissioner Harshika Singh announced the initiative, aiming to make the BRTS corridor the first environmentally friendly transport system of its kind in India.
While the timeline for the transition was not disclosed, the Indore Municipal Corporation has already acquired ten electric buses, with plans to purchase an additional forty in the near future.
Currently, the BRTS stretch serves approximately 50,000 passengers daily with 49 diesel-run buses.
