Nagpur: EKA Mobility, an electric vehicle manufacturer, has achieved another significant milestone with a new order from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation for supplying 250 electric buses.

The deployment of these 250 e-buses aligns with NMC’s mission to provide citizens with an efficient, eco-friendly, and reliable public transportation network. The fleet will serve major routes across the city, enhancing the quality of public transport while significantly lowering operational costs and emissions.

The contract for this service was awarded to Hansa Vahan India Private Limited, which has partnered with EKA Mobility. EKA Mobility will manufacture and supply the 12-meter, air-conditioned e-buses to Hansa Travels. Additionally, EKA Mobility will also undertake an annual maintenance contract for the entire duration of the operation. Each bus offers a seating capacity for 41 passengers and a standing capacity for an additional 24 commuters.

Speaking about the development, Rohit Srivastava, Chief Growth Officer of EKA Mobility said, “This partnership with Nagpur Municipal Corporation marks another critical step towards India’s transition to clean energy mobility.”

EKA, with Mitsui of Japan and VDL Groep of Netherlands as equity partners, has deployed its e-buses in Delhi as UBER shuttles at the airport and Pune International Airport. The brand also has a strategic partnership with Swedish furniture retailer IKEA for supplying electric delivery vans in India.
