Pioneering Electric Buses in Pune

The city of Pune is an early adopter of electric buses in India, with PMPML operating 220 e-buses and planning for an additional 430. This progress puts the city on track to achieve the Maharashtra state government's target of 25 percent public transport electrification by 2025, three years ahead of schedule.

• Pune's public transport agency, PMPML, currently operates 220 electric buses within a total fleet of 2,169, making it one of the largest municipal e-bus fleets in India.
• With the commissioning of 430 additional tendered e-buses, Pune is expected to reach the Maharashtra state government's goal of 25 percent public transport electrification by 2025 three years before the deadline.
• Projections for the Indian domestic electric bus market suggest that 40 percent of buses sold in the country could be electric by 2030.
