Cabinet approves PM e-Bus Sewa, allocates Rs 57,613 Cr for 10,000 new e-buses

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the “PM-eBus Sewa” scheme for augmenting city bus operation by 10,000 e-buses on PPP model.

“The Scheme would have an estimated cost of Rs.57,613 crore, out of which support of Rs.20,000 crore will be provided by the Central government. The Scheme will support bus operations for 10 years,” an official statement said.

The scheme will cover cities of Three lakh and above population as per census 2011 including all the Capital cities of Union Territories, North Eastern Region and Hill States. Under this scheme priority will be given to cities having no organized bus service, the statement adds.

10,000 e-buses will be deployed on the public-private partnership (PPP) model across 169 cities. Infrastructure will be upgraded in 181 cities under the Green Urban Mobility Initiatives, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said in a press briefing after the Cabinet meeting.

The scheme is expected to generate 45,000 to 55,000 direct jobs through deployment of around 10,000 buses in city bus operation.
