Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy and executive officer A.V. Dharma Reddy flagged off a fleet of ten electric buses on Monday. The vehicles would be used for transporting pilgrims atop the temple town, free of cost and replacing the existing diesel-run buses. Hyderabad-based firm Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd donated the buses, costing around ₹ 1.80 crore.
Mr. Subba Reddy said that the move was made to reduce vehicular pollution and recalled the trust board’s decision taken a couple of years of replacing all the existing diesel vehicles with e-vehicles in a phased manner. During the first phase, the TTD has already introduced over 35 e-cars (TATA Nexon) for its officials. The APSRTC, on its part, is also operating around 64 e-buses to reduce pollution atop Tirumala.
