Run 50% of GSRTC buses on LNG and hydrogen
Bharatiya Janata Party · Gujarat Legislative Assembly Election 2022
Last updated 15 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
The term is active and there is no evidence of action or reversal.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will ensure 50% of the GSRTC fleet of buses run on LNG and Hydrogen fuel to reduce pollution.”

Our Assessment
We could not verify a post-election rollout placing 50% of GSRTC’s bus fleet on LNG or hydrogen. The identifiable GSRTC LNG pilot consisted of three converted buses that began operating in September 2022, before this manifesto and election. GSRTC’s published September 2025 fleet total was about 8,229 buses, but it did not provide a current fuel-wise breakdown establishing the LNG and hydrogen share. National hydrogen-vehicle pilots include routes in Gujarat, but the July 2026 parliamentary record does not establish that these vehicles are part of GSRTC’s fleet. Electric or CNG buses cannot be counted as LNG or hydrogen delivery. The term remains active, so the assessment is Pending with Low confidence.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
Available records do not verify meaningful post-election implementation within the specifically promised GSRTC LNG/hydrogen fleet. The known three-bus LNG pilot predates the election.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
The manifesto is clear, but current GSRTC fuel-wise operational fleet data are missing. National hydrogen pilots and electric-bus additions cannot establish the promised fleet share.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- GSRTC’s current operational fleet by fuel type, with LNG and hydrogen counted separately
- Post-December 2022 LNG/hydrogen procurement, conversion and commissioning records
- Route operation and refuelling records showing sustained passenger service
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.

A parliamentary reply listed hydrogen-vehicle pilots on Gujarat routes, but did not identify the buses as a GSRTC fleet conversion or establish delivery of the 50% target.

Three GSRTC buses converted from diesel to LNG began operating; this pilot predates the 2022 election and is treated as baseline.
