Bus transportation in India has come a long way, from traditional diesel-powered vehicles to cutting-edge electric buses. With urbanization on the rise, cities are prioritizing efficient, eco-friendly public transport.

In India, the electric bus sector is poised for significant expansion. A report by CRISIL anticipates an 80% increase in the country's electric bus fleet in 2025, underscoring the nation's commitment to sustainable urban mobility.

How the Indian Bus Market is Changing in 2025

1. Electric Bus Revolution

Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore are investing in electric buses to combat pollution. Companies like Tata Motors, Olectra, and JBM Auto have introduced state-of-the-art electric buses with fast-charging capabilities.

2. Intercity Luxury Coaches

The demand for luxury travel has led to the introduction of Volvo and Scania coaches with features like reclining seats, onboard Wi-Fi, and automated climate control.

3. CNG-Powered City Buses

Metropolitan cities are replacing diesel buses with CNG models to reduce carbon footprints. The Ashok Leyland CNG JanBus is a popular choice among state transport corporations.

4. Digital Upgrades in Public Transport

Modern buses now come equipped with real-time tracking, automated fare collection, and AI-driven route optimization.

  • Tata Ultra EV: 200 km range, air-conditioned, ideal for city transport
  • Olectra K9: 300 kWh battery, used in Hyderabad’s electric fleet
