Electric Bus Sales in India to Reach 6-6.5K in FY25: CRISIL

Electric bus sales in India are projected to reach 6,000 to 6,500 units in the current fiscal year, according to a report by CRISIL. This surge is attributed to the government of India's continuous push for cleaner and sustainable public transportation.

The report highlights that the government's initiatives, such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, have been pivotal in promoting the adoption of electric buses across various states. These initiatives include financial incentives and subsidies, making electric buses a more viable option for state transport undertakings.

The increasing environmental concerns and the need to reduce urban pollution levels have also contributed to the growing demand for electric buses. With cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru facing severe air quality issues, the shift towards electric public transport is seen as a crucial step towards achieving cleaner air and a sustainable future.

Furthermore, advancements in battery technology and charging infrastructure are enhancing the feasibility and reliability of electric buses. The reduction in battery costs and the development of fast-charging stations are expected to further boost the adoption of electric buses.

CRISIL's report underscores that the cumulative electric bus sales in India could surpass 30,000 units by FY30 if the current momentum continues. This growth will not only contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but also create significant opportunities for domestic manufacturers and suppliers in the electric vehicle ecosystem.

In conclusion, with the government's unwavering support and the increasing emphasis on sustainable transportation, electric bus sales in India are set to witness substantial growth in the coming years, marking a significant shift towards cleaner and greener public transport solutions.
