Andhra Pradesh state operator APSRTC to electrify entire 10,661 bus fleet by 2029

Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) will convert all 10,661 buses in its fleet to electric by 2029, according to state transport minister MT Krishna Babu. The minister confirmed the state operator will not be privatised. The announcement was reported by Indianmasterminds via Google News.

Why it matters: A 10,661 unit electric bus tender pipeline from a single Indian state operator represents significant procurement volume for OEMs and charging infrastructure providers over the next five years. The commitment to retain public ownership may streamline decision making for depot charging rollouts compared to fragmented private concessions.
