Olectra, EVEY to supply 100 e-buses to APSRTC
The Hindu
Value of the contract is approximately ₹140 crore
The Olectra Greentech Limited (Olectra) and the Evey Trans Private Limited (EVEY), leaders in electric mobility and manufacturing of electric buses (e-buses), received a letter of award from the Andhra Padesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) for supply of 100 e-buses under the Government of India’s FAME-II scheme.
Plans are afoot to ply 50 e-buses on the Tirumala-Tirupati ghat road and the rest as intercity buses between Tirupati and Nellore, Kadapa and Madanapalle in Chittoor district.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
