“Keeping our promise and seeing another 122 electric buses join Mumbai’s streets fills my heart with joy. It’s a true reflection of what we can achieve when vision, dedication, and collaboration come together. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in us, and these buses are a reminder of our shared journey toward building cleaner, more inclusive, and sustainable public transport for the city and its people.” Dr. Aanchal Jain, CEO of PMI Electro Mobility
PMI Electro Mobility’s Mumbadevi Mobility, in partnership with BEST, has rolled out the second batch of electric buses for the city. At an official ceremony held at the BEST Office, Colaba Depot, four fully electric 12-metre buses were flagged off recently in the presence of Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, along with Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
This deployment marks the continuation of an ambitious plan to introduce a total of 250 electric buses in Mumbai, with the flagging off of 122 buses further strengthening the city’s public transport network and supporting its transition to cleaner, greener mobility. To ensure seamless operations, Oshiwara–Goregaon Depot is energized, and 15 high-capacity chargers have been installed enabling efficient overnight charging and supporting the smooth daily functioning of the e-bus fleet.
The new 12-metre electric buses, designed and manufactured by PMI Electro Mobility, seamlessly blend passenger comfort with environmental sustainability. Each bus accommodates 36 passengers plus the driver and includes wheelchair access along with three foldable seats for added flexibility. The low-floor design (400 mm) ensures convenient boarding for senior citizens and differently-abled passengers. Powered by a 366.66 kWh LFP battery, these buses can travel up to 300 km on a single charge, making them perfectly suited for Mumbai’s daily urban routes. The PMSM motor system delivers smooth and efficient performance, while advanced onboard accessibility and safety features enhance the overall travel experience.
Dr. Aanchal Jain, CEO of PMI Electro Mobility, said, “It fills me with pride to see these electric buses on Mumbai’s roads, knowing that each journey they make contributes to a cleaner, healthier city. From the low-floor design that eases boarding for all passengers to the advanced battery system enabling long, smooth rides, every detail reflects our commitment to people and the environment. We are grateful to BEST for trusting us to be part of this journey, and we remain dedicated to supporting Mumbai’s vision for sustainable and inclusive mobility.
Keeping our promise and seeing another 122 electric buses join Mumbai’s streets fills my heart with joy. It’s a true reflection of what we can achieve when vision, dedication, and collaboration come together. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in us, and these buses are a reminder of our shared journey toward building cleaner, more inclusive, and sustainable public transport for the city and its people.”
