GreenCell Wins Order for 1,200+ Electric Buses

GreenCell Mobility has secured an order for over 1,200 electric buses from Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) under the PM E-Bus Sewa Scheme, as announced on 14 May 2025. The contract includes 472 Eicher electric buses for Madhya Pradesh and 750 buses from Pinnacle Mobility Solutions for Andhra Pradesh.

These zero-emission buses will be deployed across six cities in Madhya Pradesh and 11 in Andhra Pradesh. GreenCell has partnered with VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) for the Madhya Pradesh segment and with Pinnacle Mobility Solutions (EKA Mobility) for Andhra Pradesh.

Devendra Chawla, Managing Director and CEO of GreenCell Mobility, stated that this development marks a key milestone in the company’s journey to transform public transport with sustainable solutions. GreenCell will also be establishing supporting charging infrastructure to enable the large-scale rollout.

Currently, GreenCell operates 900 electric buses in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. With the latest contracts, the company is expanding operations into two more states, strengthening its national footprint.

Vinod Aggarwal, MD and CEO of VECV, noted that their Eicher electric buses have already logged more than 14 million kilometres across India. Dr Sudhir Mehta, Founder and Chairman of EKA Mobility and Pinnacle Industries, described the collaboration as a vital step towards sustainable urban growth.

The PM E-Bus Sewa Scheme is part of the Indian government’s push to deploy 10,000 electric buses nationwide. In FY 2024–25, CESL floated a tender for 4,588 electric buses as part of this initiative.

The transport sector is responsible for around 13 per cent of India’s carbon emissions, making electrification of public mobility a critical strategy in the country’s climate action efforts. Government programmes like the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles) scheme are incentivising the transition.

Backed by Eversource Capital, GreenCell Mobility offers Electric Mobility-as-a-Service. Its buses, with a range exceeding 250 kilometres per charge and fast-charging capability, produce zero tailpipe emissions. The widespread adoption of such vehicles is expected to improve air quality, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and support India’s clean mobility goals. Each electric bus is estimated to lower carbon dioxide emissions by around 100 tonnes annually compared to diesel alternatives.
