EKA Mobility, in partnership with the Government of Rajasthan, has commenced the first phase of deployment of its 876-electric bus order in the state under the PM e-Bus Seva Yojana. The inaugural batch of buses was flagged off by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma in Jaipur, marking the beginning of one of Rajasthan’s biggest electric public transport initiatives.
This deployment is the initial phase of a broader order of 876 electric buses placed under the Central Government’s PM e-Bus Seva programme, which aims to accelerate the adoption of electric public transport in cities with limited or developing urban transit infrastructure.
EKA Mobility won the contract in consortium with Chartered Speed, which will be responsible for the operation, maintenance and deployment of the entire fleet across eight cities in Rajasthan.
Built on EKA Mobility’s modular electric commercial vehicle platform, the buses feature advanced connected fleet management systems, real-time vehicle tracking and zero tailpipe emissions, supporting cleaner and more sustainable urban mobility. The buses have been designed keeping accessibility in mind, incorporating an integrated wheelchair lift and dedicated entry mechanism to facilitate convenient boarding for passengers with disabilities.
Commenting on the milestone, Dr. Sudhir Mehta, Founder and Chairman, EKA Mobility, said that the deployment in Rajasthan represents another important step in expanding the company’s electric mobility footprint across India. He said the rollout builds on EKA Mobility’s growing presence in states including Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh, further strengthening the company’s commitment to supporting India’s transition towards sustainable public transportation.
