RSRTC floats tender for third time to buy electric buses
Jaipur: The Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) has issued a tender for the third time to procure electric vehicle buses. The corporation plans to acquire 300 electric buses which are to be deployed on routes within the National Capital Region (NCR). Officials said that electric buses will be taken on contract, and bus operators will be paid up to Rs 60 per km. Before this, tenders were invited in Dec 2024 and May 2025. Officials added that the tender for 300 buses is two-fold: one with the infrastructure for charging the buses and the second without charging infrastructure. The corporation aims to procure a total of 900 EVs, which will replace the existing diesel-based fleet used for these routes. For the initial 300 buses, RSRTC has floated the tender, said officials. "Due to the two-fold nature of the tender, we have not received bids as expected till now. The tender has been floated for the 300 EVs that were announced in the state budget. By next month, we'll be able to understand what the response of the bidders is," said a senior official. Officials said that by June 2026, RSRTC will replace all its 900 buses currently plying on the Delhi-NCR routes with EV buses complying with the guidelines of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The corporation is also working on procuring 600 EV buses as part of a central govt scheme, PM E-Drive, for which the state govt has also given the sovereign guarantee, said officials. "The PM E-Drive, which is the scheme of the Department of Heavy Industries, is primarily for intra-city operations, but we have requested the central govt to allow us to procure buses under this scheme due to the requirements, explaining our situation," said Shubhra Singh, RSRTC chairperson.

Haryana urban local bodies increase financial powers of municipal commissioners and officers
Chandigarh: In a move that has reignited tensions over local governance authority, the Haryana urban local bodies (ULB) department has expanded financial powers for bureaucrats overseeing municipal bodies — sidestepping long-standing demands by elected mayors and council heads for greater administrative control. A notification issued last week grants municipal commissioners and executive officers significantly higher sanctioning authority for development projects, a shift that came just days after a national conference of urban civic bodies in Gurugram called for empowering elected local representatives. For more than a decade, mayors and presidents of municipal councils — many aligned with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party — have lobbied to approve development works independently. Instead, they now face further marginalisation, with expanded financial control handed to officers and finance committees. "Despite protocol ranking us above senior bureaucrats, we remain at their mercy," said a mayor from northern Haryana, requesting anonymity. In Gurugram, municipal commissioners can now approve development works up to Rs 2.5 crore (previously Rs 50 lakh). Projects worth Rs 2.5-10 crore will require approval from a finance committee chaired by the mayor. Projects above Rs 10 crore and Rs 25 crore will go to the ULB minister and the chief minister, respectively. In other municipal corporations, commissioners can now sanction works up to Rs 1 crore independently. Finance committees can approve up to Rs 10 crore, with larger projects routed to higher authorities in a similar tiered structure. Municipal councils and committees will follow the same slabs as smaller corporations. The move deepens concerns of elected civic heads being reduced to figureheads. "There were cases where mayors were unaware of final work orders despite chairing finance committees," said the northern Haryana mayor.

Remove Ads Paris: Stellantis is considering a fresh round of investment in India, as the Dutch group that owns automotive brands like Fiat, Jeep, Chrysler and Peugeot aims to grow its retail network and launch new products in a market where its current share is under 1%. The company, the world's fourth-largest automaker, is also seeking to double its exports from India, said its top which has so far spent Rs 11,000 crore in India, said the extent of the new investment will be guided by the scope of its future programmes and the balance between domestic and export-focused is a "long game" market that requires consistent investment, product relevance and deeper ecosystem integration, Stellantis India managing director Shailesh Hazela said, terming the India plans as part of a 2.0 strategy. "It is not an easy market where success comes quickly, but the fundamentals are in place. We're focusing on doing the right things that align with local needs," he told and Korean manufacturers have a majority share in India's automobile market, the third largest in the Tata Motors and M&M are also significant players, accounting for nearly a quarter of sales between which remains a marginal player in the local market, is taking a phased approach to expansion, focusing on back-end capability, localisation and select product plays, its executives said. Sustained growth though will depend on how well the company aligns its offerings with Indian consumer expectations and competitive pricing company's current India line-up includes the Jeep portfolio and Citroen models like the C3 hatchback, C3 Aircross, and the recently launched Basalt. However, none have yet delivered volumes at scale. The firm's retail network and brand visibility lag its domestic sales remain modest, India is gradually emerging as a back-end for Stellantis' global operations. "India is the priority for the Asia-Pacific region," said Hazela. "If India is strong, the region benefits in terms of local production, cost competitiveness and speed of response to the market."Last year, the company exported about 10,000 fully built vehicles, along with 300,000 engines and powertrains, from India. India currently accounts for roughly 2% of the group's global volume base of 5-6 million units. The component supply chain has also been significantly scaled up; it now works with 500 local suppliers.(This reporter was in Paris on the invitation of Stellantis)
