JBM Ecolife Mobility Pvt , a subsidiary of JBM Auto, has secured a significant contract from Convergence Energy Services Ltd (CESL) for the supply, operation, and maintenance of 1,021 electric buses under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme (Tender-II).

A Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) has been put in place to ensure timely payments to e-bus operators, strengthening financial sustainability for industry stakeholders. Over the next 12 years, these buses are expected to clock more than 32 billion passenger e-kilometres while saving over 1 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions. This contract strengthens JBM’s already robust order book, which now stands at over 11,000 electric buses in various stages of execution, aligning with the company’s Net Zero 2040 vision.
