The induction of these 25 electric buses adds to Chandigarh’s fleet under CTU and will support public transport operations on designated urban routes within the Union Territory of Chandigarh.

PMI Electro is supporting the implementation of this initiative through the supply of electric buses in accordance with the prescribed specifications and contractual arrangements.
These buses, designed and manufactured by PMI Electro, are built for urban operations and are equipped in accordance with applicable public transport specifications and safety requirements. The vehicles include accessibility provisions, and a low-floor design to facilitate boarding and alighting. The buses are powered by efficient battery systems suitable for intra-city operations and are configured to meet operational requirements specified by CTU.
Dr. Aanchal Jain, CEO of PMI Electro, said, “We thank the Chandigarh Administration and CTU for the opportunity to support the induction of electric buses in the city under the PM e-Bus Sewa initiative and the Government of India’s PM e-Drive programme. The deployment reflects the continued integration of electric buses into public transport systems across Indian cities. We are grateful for the trust placed in us and are pleased to serve Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities by supporting the implementation of electric mobility projects in partnership with transport authorities.”
