By Eve
Andhra Pradesh is accelerating electric bus infrastructure under the central government's PM e-Bus Sewa scheme, with 750 electric buses sanctioned for 11 cities across 12 depots under Tender II, plus an additional 300 buses allocated to Tirupati under Convergence Energy Services. Special Chief Secretary K Vijayanand reviewed progress with APSRTC officials, emphasising timely execution of charging station electricity infrastructure works to position the state as a national model in electric public transport.
Why it matters: The 1,050 bus deployment represents significant charging infrastructure procurement across multiple depots, creating immediate opportunities for depot charging equipment suppliers and grid connection contractors. The state government's focus on timely execution signals an active tender pipeline for charging hardware and installation services across 12 locations.
