Twenty electric buses having features like CCTV cameras, panic buttons and automated digital fare collection, were inducted into Goa’s state transport body on Thursday, officials said.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant launched these electric buses, which will be part of the state-run Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited.
Electric bus manufacturer PMI Electro Mobility delivered these 20 vehicles to the Goa government.
A senior official from PMI Electro Mobility said that the consignment was a part of a larger order to provide 48 electric buses by July 2023. Electric buses were already part of the Goa’s bus transport corporation, and the induction of these 20 vehicles has added to the fleet, sources said.
