Chartered Speed, a leading player in passenger bus mobility services, and EKA Mobility, automotive & technology company creating a new global CV electric mobility, have partnered to deploy 1,135 electric buses under the Government of India’s Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme. The companies have secured the Letter of Confirmation of Quantity (LOCQ) for 235 buses, following the earlier confirmation of 900 buses across India, taking the total to 1,135 buses. Full deployment is expected to serve over 3.6 lakh passengers daily and generate over 2500 jobs, contributing significantly to green mobility and local economic development.
Bringing together Chartered Speed’s operational experience and EKA Mobility’s EV manufacturing expertise, the partnership aims to drive accessible, efficient, and sustainable urban transport across India. As part of the remaining 235 buses, Chartered Speed will procure, operate, and maintain the fleet across four states – 110 buses in Madhya Pradesh, 60 in Odisha, 35 in Chhattisgarh, and 30 in Meghalaya.
“Chartered Speed’s vision is to transform everyday travel through clean, efficient and inclusive public transport,” said Sanyam Gandhi, Whole-Time Director, Chartered Speed. “This allocation under the PM e-Bus Sewa Scheme, along with our partnership with EKA Mobility, is a significant step in that direction.
