Chhattisgarh to Deploy 240 Electric Buses in Statewide Rollout

The Chhattisgarh government has unveiled a plan to launch 240 electric buses across the state, a move that seeks to curb air pollution and enhance the efficiency of public transport. The announcement was made during a press briefing by the Minister of Transport on Tuesday. The buses, which will be sourced from local manufacturers, are expected to operate in major cities and district hubs over the next two years. Officials said the initiative aligns with the state’s broader green mobility strategy and could create jobs in the electric vehicle sector. The rollout will also include charging infrastructure development to support the new fleet.
