Chartered Speed, a prominent player in India’s passenger mobility sector, has secured a contract with Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) to operate over 900 electric buses. This initiative is part of the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme and will span 13 cities across three states. The company aims to serve over 2.9 lakh passengers daily and generate employment for more than 2,000 people, benefiting both the transportation and job markets.
This move aligns with Chartered Speed’s goal of accelerating the shift to electric vehicles in public transport, providing safer and more sustainable travel options across India. The e-buses will operate within urban areas of 13 cities: Raipur, Durg-Bhilai, Bilaspur, Korba, Ajmer, Alwar, Bikaner, Bhilwara, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, and Shillong, located in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Meghalaya.
