The UP government is strengthening its public transportation infrastructure with the addition of 120 new electric buses.
This initiative aims to provide affordable and convenient travel options while simultaneously reducing pollution and promoting sustainable transportation within the state.
The deployment of these modern electric buses marks a significant step towards cleaner and more efficient public transportation.
The state-owned UP State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) will soon have around 50 per cent electric buses in its total fleet.
The corporation has already started adding more electric vehicles (EVs) to its fleet, with deployment expected on important routes in the near future.
These buses will primarily serve key districts, including Lucknow, Ayodhya, Moradabad, and Aligarh, connecting major cities and improving intercity connectivity.
