Electric Bus Projects in Ludhiana and Jalandhar Face Delays and Progress
Ludhiana and Jalandhar are part of the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme aiming to introduce electric buses to improve urban mobility. Ludhiana's plan for 100 e-buses faces delays due to incomplete charging infrastructure and depots, with deployment unlikely before December. In contrast, Jalandhar's construction of two depots is progressing on schedule, expected to finish by year-end, with tenders for 97 buses nearing finalization. Both cities plan extensive routes to serve residents, reflecting efforts to modernize public transport under a public-private partnership model.
