EKA Mobility and Chartered Speed to deploy 675 electric buses in Rajasthan

EKA Mobility , in consortium with transport service provider Chartered Speed , has secured a Letter of Award (LOA) to deploy 675 electric buses across Rajasthan under the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme . The deployment will include 565 nine-metre and 110 twelve-metre electric buses across eight cities: Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer, Alwar, Bikaner, Bhilwara, and Jodhpur. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Rajasthan government to reduce emissions, lower reliance on fossil fuels, and improve public transport services. The LOA follows the recent issuance of the Letter of Confirmation of Quantity (LOCQ) by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL) for electric buses across India. Rohit Srivastava, Business Head and Chief Growth Officer, EKA Mobility, said, 'This win reinforces our belief that electric mobility is not just the future—it's the present. Rajasthan's bold move toward electrification aligns perfectly with our vision of transforming the way millions commute daily and accelerating India's transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.' Sanyam Gandhi, Whole-Time Director, Chartered Speed, said, 'This reflects our commitment to a greener, more efficient transport network. Through the Pradhan Mantri e-Bus Sewa Scheme, we're transitioning to an electric fleet that will transform urban mobility. Our goal is to lead the shift to a low-carbon future and offer commuters cleaner, smarter travel options shaping a more connected and sustainable India.' Expansion in e-mobility projects The Rajasthan order follows recent contract wins by EKA Mobility, including projects valued at approximately ₹150 crore from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation and an order worth approximately ₹400 crore from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. These developments expand the company's presence in the electric mobility sector and add to its fleet of zero-emission public transport solutions.
