The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is planning to convert its 3,000 diesel-powered buses to CNG to offer cost-effective service, Transport Minister Antony Raju has said.
He was speaking to reporters after flagging off the trial service of a CNG-powered private bus at Balussery here on Friday. Mr. Raju said the first phase of the conversion process would cover 1,000 buses, for which funds had already been earmarked.
The Minister said the industry would not move forward without exploring cost-effective alternatives like CNG. The State government had already come up with measures to open CNG distribution outlets in existing fuel stations.
