New Delhi, February 9 Hinduja Group's electric vehicle arm, SWITCH Mobility, launched 272 low-floor buses from the Ramlila Maidan in the National Capital on Monday, as part of a centralized rollout of 950 electric buses in the city.
Under the CESL (Convergence Energy Services Limited) tender for Delhi, the company will deploy a total of 950 electric buses across key depots in the national capital, supporting the city's transition to a cleaner public transport system, it said.
The deployment of these buses will be undertaken in phases across the Okhla Srinivas Puri (SNP) Depot, Grand Trunk Road Depot, and Rajghat Bus Terminal, and other depots, SWITCH Mobility said, adding that Ohm Global Mobility will support operational deployment and service readiness for the fleet, enabling integration into Delhi's public transport network.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated these EiV12 buses in the presence of BJP National President Nitin Nabin and Pankaj Singh, Minister for Transport in the Delhi Government, among others.
The phased deployment of over 200 buses from the Srinivas Puri Depot aligns with the Delhi Government's ambitious vision to make Delhi the city with the highest number of electric buses in operation, the company said.
"SWITCH Mobility is committed to collaborating with city transport authorities to deliver dependable, high-performance electric buses that can scale rapidly. Deployments like these demonstrate how electric mobility can be seamlessly integrated into urban operations while delivering tangible benefits in emissions reduction and passenger experience," said Ganesh Mani, Chief Executive Officer of SWITCH Mobility.
