Our Assessment

high

PM-eBus Sewa (launched August 2023, total cost about Rs 57,613 crore with Rs 20,000 crore central assistance) has sanctioned 10,000 electric buses across 116-169 cities (prioritising cities without organised bus services), and was reinforced by the PM-eBus Sewa-Payment Security Mechanism (PSM) scheme (Rs 3,435 crore) to support deployment of 38,000+ e-buses by FY2028-29. Tenders and Letters of Award for thousands of buses have been issued, with deployment still ramping up across cities. The pledge to extend e-bus services to more cities is in active delivery. Partial (strong action).
