2,000 eBuses & 3,000 CNG Buses coming to West Bengal… the country is beginning to wake up!
The West Bengal government is planning to add 2,000 electric buses to its fleet and also converting at least 3,000 diesel-run buses into CNG-powered vehicles in the next few years.
Around 80 electric buses are currently plying the roads of Kolkata according to Transport Minister Mr Firhad Hakim. Also a pilot project of turning 30 fossil fuel-run buses into CNG-operated ones has been completed, and the results were encouraging.
The objective of the state transport is to reduce the use of fossil fuels, which will lead to a reduction in pollution and improvement of air quality.
There are 76 charging facilities for the buses.
“Urban transportation will soon become completely electric & old buses are being converted to CNG in full swing. We are committed to reduce our carbon footprint & I urge all citizens to join us in this battle for a better world for our future generations,” Hakim tweeted earlier in the day.
“We have converted diesel engines to CNG ones in 30 buses and the trial run was encouraging. We are now planning to ramp it up to 3,000 buses. The government is also appealing to private bus operators to join this initiative,” he said.
The West Bengal state government has exempted registration fees, motor vehicles and other taxes for electric vehicles to facilitate faster adoption of green transport.

The Rs150 lakh Ashok Leyland joke called “Circuit”
150 lakh Ashok Leyland joke called Circuit… don’t know if they pulled the name right out of Munnabhai MBBS movie.
The things people do in the name of Electric vehicles, clean and green energy. Just like Kodak tried to stay in the game by meddling in copy machines Ashok Leyland tried to jump the curve by buying a electric bus company called Optare in the UK.
Any Indian company that invest in Europe has seen red… even if they are the top companies in the world. Be it Suzlon… be it Tata Motors… be it Tata Steel… be it Amtek Auto… all have seen losses and had to sell those investments… not because of economics but because of “gamesmanship” which is a new word for cheating.
Why would Indian company buy UK technology and try to sell it in India??!!?? Make the bus and try to sell in UK… they bloody well cannot do it so try the govt to buy their stuff…
If you are still gaging for the numbers its almost identical to what one hears about li-ion vehicles 120kms range, 3 hrs charging time 75kmph top speed. The bus can carry about 30 (sitting) to 60 passengers.
The bus will cost between 1.5 Crore to 3.5 Crore…
All I have to say is give one finger salute… _l_ for the visionaries and the makers of this vehicle.
