Moreover, a state-of-the-art e-Bus project, valued at Rs 800 million, is planned for Raipur, along with another commercial complex at Bhaisthan, budgeted at Rs 550 million.

The Mayor stated that issuing municipal bonds and funding various projects will pave the way for creating a more vibrant and sustainable city for the future.

Additionally, Rs 200 million has been allocated to purchase 10 electric buses. This move is intended to promote sustainable transportation and reduce the city's carbon footprint. The tendering process for procuring these electric buses will commence soon, as decided in the meeting. The gathering addressed a total of 27 proposals.
