Eyeing for a position in the top 15 cities of the world in a competition for implementing innovative ideas, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has proposed 15 new charging stations in an initiative to promote electric vehicles (EV) in the city. These are in addition to the existing two stations, used for the public transport bus service.
“The PMPML, a public transport bus service, having a fleet of 2,431 buses, had already inducted 150 e-buses in 2019 for the commuters. It is in process of procuring an additional 500 e-buses in its fleet with 150 of them being added through the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of EV (FAME) scheme of the union government. The new buses will join the fleet by December this year,” said Rajendra Jagtap, Managing Director of PMPML.
