Maharashtra sets 2037 deadline for all-electric state bus fleet

The Indian state of Maharashtra has announced a target to electrify its entire state bus fleet by 2037. The policy directive aims to transition all public buses operated by state transport undertakings to battery electric vehicles over the next 13 years. The announcement was reported by ACKO Drive via Google News.

Why it matters: A 2037 electrification mandate for an entire state bus fleet creates a long-term procurement pipeline for depot charging infrastructure, grid upgrades and maintenance contracts. Operators and suppliers targeting Indian public transport tenders now have a clear timeline to plan fleet-scale deployments in Maharashtra.
