Switch Mobility, the electric mobility arm of the Hinduja Group, has completed the delivery of 100 electric buses to the Government of Mauritius, in what the company says is the largest ever electric bus export from India.
The final batch of 90 buses was handed over during a formal ceremony attended by S. Jaishankar, who transferred the custody of the vehicles to Navinchandra Ramgoolam. The event was attended by senior officials from both the countries, who highlighted the diplomatic importance of this initiative.
The buses have been supplied as part of the Government of India’s donation to Mauritius under a government-to-government arrangement. The procurement was done through an open tender managed by Convergence Energy Services Limited, while the operational responsibilities will be handled by the National Transport Corporation.
Vehicle Specifications and Features
The deployment includes the SWITCH EiV12 model, which can seat up to 45 passengers. The buses are equipped with floor-mounted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs, designed to improve stability by lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity.
Each bus features a rear dual-gun charging interface aimed at reducing charging and turnaround time at the depot. Additionally, the vehicles integrate Switch Mobility’s proprietary Switch iON, enabling real-time vehicle diagnostics, monitoring and fleet management.
According to the company, the buses are built to meet international standards in safety, performance and sustainability while supporting reliable public transport operations.
Supporting Mauritius’ electric mobility transition
This initiative is part of broader cooperation between India and Mauritius to reduce transport-related emissions and modernize public transit infrastructure. For Switch Mobility, the delivery also represents an important milestone in its global expansion strategy.
Ganesh Mani, CEO of Switch Mobility, said this deployment reinforces the company’s commitment to support Mauritius in accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility and building a clean public transport ecosystem.
Switch Mobility reports that it has deployed more than 2,400 electric buses globally, collectively covering more than 150 million kilometers of operations since the company’s inception.
