Introduce 1,000 electric buses for town and village connectivity

Electric-bus services have expanded in Gujarat after the 2022 election, but the promised fleet and rural-to-urban coverage are not fully verified. GSRTC introduced electric services connecting Rajkot with Hirasar airport in September 2023 and launched double-decker electric buses on the Gandhinagar–Ahmedabad corridor in January 2024. The Union government subsequently reported 750 buses sanctioned for eight Gujarat cities under PM-eBus Sewa and spending on their depot and power infrastructure. Sanctioned buses are not the same as buses carrying passengers, and city-fleet totals do not establish services linking the promised small towns and villages. Operational additions demonstrate meaningful implementation, while delivery of 1,000 qualifying buses remains unverified. The promise is assessed as Partially Done.
