Hyderabad: This year 2025, The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) is planning to operate nearly 1,000 Electric Buses in all major and important routes in the city.
Officials are preparing route maps and taking steps to operate EV buses on long routes and also planning new routes targeting commuters from suburban areas.
While about 200 electric buses are already plying in the city, charging units have been set up at JBS, HCU, Miyapur and BHEL depots. Also charging unit at Hayathnagar is being planned.
RTC plans to ply electric buses in phases on the city roads. Greater RTC has set a target of running 300 more buses in 2025. While a diesel bus emits 1,150 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre along with nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide, the EVs are zero-emission vehicles.
