SWITCH Mobility, a global manufacturer of electric buses and light commercial vehicles and part of the Hinduja Group, has successfully completed the delivery of 100 electric buses to the Government of Mauritius. This milestone marks the largest export of electric buses from India and reinforces the growing collaboration between India and Mauritius in advancing sustainable public transportation.
The final batch of 90 buses was formally handed over by Dr S Jaishankar to Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam as part of a high-level engagement between the two nations. The buses were procured through an open tender conducted by Convergence Energy Services Limited and are being operated by the National Transport Corporation Mauritius.
The deployment has been executed under a government-to-government arrangement, with the Government of India providing the 100 electric buses as a grant to Mauritius. The initiative is aimed at accelerating the adoption of clean mobility solutions while supporting the modernization of the country’s public transport infrastructure.
The buses supplied are based on the SWITCH EiV12 platform, engineered to deliver high levels of performance, reliability, and passenger comfort. Designed for urban mobility, each bus offers seating for up to 45 passengers and incorporates advanced safety and durability features aligned with global standards. The vehicles are powered by SWITCH iON, the company’s proprietary telematics system, which enables real-time monitoring of vehicle health, efficient fleet management, and optimized operations.
Equipped with floor-mounted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the buses ensure a low centre of gravity for improved stability and safety. In addition, a rear dual-gun charging interface allows for faster charging cycles, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing downtime for fleet operators.
Ganesh Mani, CEO of SWITCH Mobility, stated that Mauritius is making significant progress toward building a sustainable public transport ecosystem. He noted that the completion of the 100-bus delivery represents a key milestone in supporting the country’s transition to electric mobility, delivering benefits in terms of reduced emissions, improved urban efficiency, and enhanced commuter experience.
The deployment aligns with Mauritius’ broader environmental goals, including reducing carbon emissions and promoting energy-efficient transportation systems. It also reflects SWITCH Mobility’s strategy of expanding its footprint in international markets by delivering high-quality electric mobility solutions built in India for global applications.
SWITCH Mobility has recorded over 185 million electric kilometers globally and deployed more than 2,500 electric buses in India. The company continues to expand across city and intercity mobility segments, supporting the transition toward cleaner transportation systems. SWITCH Mobility develops electric buses and light commercial vehicles, combining engineering expertise with advanced technologies to deliver solutions that support sustainable mobility and operational efficiency across global markets.
