Haryana inaugurates electric bus depot in Panipat, deploys 80 electric buses across five cities
By Eve
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini inaugurated an electric bus depot in Panipat and flagged off 80 electric city buses for deployment across Haryana, with 40 allocated to Panipat, 15 to Yamunanagar, 10 each to Kurukshetra and Sonipat, and 5 to Panchkula. The state-of-the-art depot was developed at a cost of approximately ₹7 crore, and electric bus depots with modern charging facilities are under construction in 8 other districts across Haryana. The rollout forms part of the state government's push to strengthen public transport and align with national green mobility and net zero goals.
Why it matters: The ₹7 crore Panipat depot and the pipeline of 8 additional district depots signal sustained procurement and infrastructure investment for electric bus charging across Haryana. Operators and charging providers should track the multi-district rollout for depot construction and fleet electrification opportunities in the state's tier-two cities.
