India delivers 90 electric buses to Mauritius under green partnership
By Eve
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar handed over 90 electric buses to Mauritius Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam during a high level visit, describing the fleet as a symbol of sustainable public transport cooperation between the two nations. The delivery forms part of a broader Green Partnership initiative between India and Mauritius. The visit also included the inauguration of Mauritius's first renal transplant unit at Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital in Port Louis.
Why it matters: The 90 bus deployment marks a significant bilateral infrastructure commitment and signals India's use of EV fleet exports to strengthen diplomatic ties in the Indian Ocean region. For operators and suppliers, government to government deals of this scale can open pathways into island markets with limited domestic manufacturing capacity.
