REC, a leading infrastructure finance company in India, has announced plans to provide financing for the acquisition of 50,000 electric buses over the next 2-3 years. This initiative reflects REC's commitment to supporting the adoption of sustainable transportation solutions and reducing carbon emissions in the country's urban mobility sector.

The financing provided by REC will not only support the procurement of electric buses but also facilitate investments in associated infrastructure, including charging stations and depot upgrades. This comprehensive approach is essential for ensuring the seamless integration of electric buses into existing public transportation networks and maximising their environmental and economic benefits.

Moreover, the deployment of electric buses is expected to generate employment opportunities, stimulate economic growth, and enhance the overall quality of life in urban areas. By investing in sustainable transport solutions, REC demonstrates its commitment to promoting inclusive and environmentally sustainable development across India.

In conclusion, REC's initiative to offer financing for 50,000 electric buses represents a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of clean and sustainable transportation solutions in India. By providing accessible financing options, REC aims to support the widespread deployment of electric buses and contribute to the country's efforts to combat climate change and improve air quality in urban areas.
