    NueGo partners with Hyderabad Metro for seamless intercity and urban travel.

    NueGo, Greencell Mobility’s intercity electric mobility brand, has partnered with L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited to offer integrated travel solutions combining intercity bus and urban metro connectivity in Hyderabad.

    As part of this collaboration, passengers booking NewGo intercity bus tickets can now seamlessly incorporate metro connectivity – either to reach their boarding point or to travel from their drop-off location to their final destination. Metro tickets will be directly linked to Newgo PNR, removing the need for separate booking or payment process. Passengers can collect their metro tickets from the station counters by simply presenting their NewGo ticket.

    The service will be available at selected stations on all three corridors of the Hyderabad Metro network and will be integrated into the NueGo website and mobile application, enabling a seamless, end-to-end booking experience.

    Commenting on the initiative, Devendra Chawla, Managing Director and CEO, Greencell Mobility, said the partnership reflects the shared vision of combining clean intercity transport with efficient urban transit to create a seamless passenger journey.

    The integration aims to promote end-to-end electric mobility by connecting intercity electric buses to metro rail systems. Newgo indicated that the service will go live as planned, with expansion to additional metro stations being considered in the future.

  • Greencell Mobility builds one of India’s safest public transportation networks.

    Greencell Mobility builds one of India’s safest public transportation networks.

    GreenCell Mobility (GCM), a leading mobility platform in India, is enhancing public transportation through a strong focus on safety, advanced technology and operational excellence. Backed by Eversource Capital, GCM is setting new standards for urban electric mobility.

    At the core of GCM’s operations is an uncompromising safety-first culture, based on advanced technology and a strong governance framework. Each electric bus in its fleet is equipped with multi-camera surveillance systems, real-time vehicle health monitoring, GPS-based fleet tracking and passenger information systems, enabling continuous inspection, faster incident response and enhanced passenger confidence. The buses are also designed with inclusive safety features like panic buttons, wheelchair access ramps, fire extinguishers and seat belts along with a dedicated emergency response mechanism to ensure the safety of women passengers. To maintain these standards at scale, GCM has set up centralized command centers for real-time fleet tracking and implemented daily breath analyzer testing for coach captains along with a performance-based grading system to maintain accountability and discipline. Regular training programs including safety workshops, refresher modules, coach captain training and battery management sessions further strengthen the culture of operational excellence and reliability across its workforce.

    Greencell Mobility currently operates over 1,500 state-of-the-art electric buses in 17 cities across 5 states, with an ambitious roadmap to expand to over 30 cities across 10 states, with a fleet of 4,500 buses in operation. The company has deployed its services in major states including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Delhi, Puducherry and Gujarat. On a daily basis, GCM carries around 2.75 lakh passengers and covers a distance of around 2.85 lakh kilometres, with each bus covering an average of around 200 kilometers per day across geographical areas of the city. The company maintains bus availability up to 95% and enables state transport undertakings to achieve approximately 50% savings on fuel costs compared to conventional fossil-fuel fleets.

    Apart from providing mobility, GCM is creating meaningful employment across its operating network and is actively working to increase the participation of women in the transportation workforce. The company has made significant investments in recruiting and retaining skilled talent, enhancing the overall standard of service delivery and creating inclusive economic opportunities for the communities in the cities it serves. GCM’s expanded network connects millions of commuters to jobs, education and essential services, reflecting its broader commitment to building a more equitable and accessible urban mobility ecosystem in India and ensuring that the country’s public transport system continues to set high standards.

  • EKA Mobility, Greencell win order for 915 electric buses in Hyderabad under PM e-Drive.

    EKA Mobility, Greencell win order for 915 electric buses in Hyderabad under PM e-Drive.

    EKA Mobility, in partnership with Greencell Mobility, has secured a Letter of Award (LOA) for the supply and deployment of 915 electric buses in Hyderabad. The project is part of the PM e-Drive scheme of the Government of India, with Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) acting as the nodal procurement agency.

    The order includes 100 nine-metre and 815 twelve-metre standard-floor non-AC electric buses designed for urban transit operations. Under CESL’s Gross Cost Contract (GCC) model, the consortium will handle the procurement, operation and maintenance of the fleet along with the development of charging and supporting infrastructure. The city transport authority will pay a fixed per kilometer fee while retaining the fare revenue.

    Rohit Srivastava, Business Head and Chief Development Officer, EKA Mobility, said the award reflects confidence in the company’s technology and execution capabilities, adding that the project will support Hyderabad’s transition towards clean and smart mobility.

    Hyderabad among major cities in PM e-drive rollout

    The PM e-Drive scheme aims to accelerate electric mobility adoption with a subsidy of about ₹4,391 crore, aimed at deployment of over 14,000 electric buses across nine major cities. CESL’s aggregation-based GCC model extends to cities including Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Surat.

    Hyderabad has been allocated 2,000 electric buses under the programme, with this 915-bus order marking the first phase of deployment. CESL had concluded tenders for 10,900 buses in December 2025 with strong participation from industry players.

    Growing momentum of EKA-Greensail partnership

    This latest win adds to a series of projects secured by the EKA Mobility-Greensail consortium. Earlier, the companies had received LOA for 750 electric buses in 11 cities of Andhra Pradesh as well as a similar project in Rajasthan. They are also running 75 electric buses in Puducherry under the PM e-Bus Seva Yojana.

    Strengthening India’s Electric Mobility Ecosystem

    EKA Mobility, based in Pune and a subsidiary of Pinnacle Industries, offers a range of electric commercial vehicles including buses, trucks and small commercial vehicles. The company has entered into a strategic collaboration with VDL Group to support its expansion and has received support from Mitsui & Co.

    Greencell Mobility, backed by Eversource Capital, is one of India’s leading electric bus operators with a growing fleet and over 270 charging stations across the country. The company recently raised $89 million to significantly expand its operations.

    With over 800,000 public buses and 12 lakh private buses operating in India, the opportunity for electrification is substantial. It is estimated that each electric bus will reduce approximately 100 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually compared to diesel counterparts, reinforcing the environmental and economic benefits of such a large-scale deployment.
