Sameer Contractor
Oct 5, 2019, 2:20 AM
Tata Motors has announced that it has bagged the contract to supply 300 electric buses to the Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL). The automaker had previously delivered 200 electric buses to the government under the FAME I initiative, covering over 60 per cent of the market share. The new mandate is the largest in the country so far, making Tata the only Indian manufacturer to bag the biggest order supporting the government's e-mobility drive. The company will supply the Urban 9/9 Electric buses that will run in Ahmedabad's BRTS corridor. The e-buses will be deployed under the OPEX model and Tata Motors will be setting up the required infrastructure to support fast charging and support system, the manufacturer said in a statement.
