1,085 Olectra E-Buses to Drive Hyderabad’s Green Mobility Vision Hyderabad is set to witness a major expansion in clean public transport with Olectra Greentech Limited securing a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC ) through Evey Trans Pvt. Ltd. for the supply of 1,085 electric buses. Telangana Honourable Chief Minister Sri A Revanth Reddy has consistently articulated a clear vision to position Hyderabad as a national leader in green mobility. He has emphasized rapid electrification of public transport, reduction of urban carbon emissions, and expansion of clean energy infrastructure as core priorities. The induction of 1,085 electric buses aligns with the state government’s strategy to modernize public transport, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and move towards a low-carbon urban ecosystem. The order has been awarded under the PM E-DRIVE initiative spearheaded by Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), aimed at accelerating electric public transport adoption across Indian cities. The buses will be deployed in Hyderabad, strengthening the city’s sustainable and zero-emission transport network. Headquartered in Hyderabad, Olectra Greentech has established itself as India’s leading electric commercial vehicle brand, consistently holding the No. 1 market share in electric buses. With over 3,600 electric vehicles deployed nationwide and an order book exceeding 10,000 vehicles, the company has clocked more than 500 million green kilometres. Alongside electric buses, Olectra also manufactures electric tippers supporting sustainable infrastructure development. For this project, Olectra will supply 12-metre low-floor electric buses in both AC and non-AC variants. Designed and engineered in India to suit domestic road conditions and high-frequency urban operations, each bus will feature advanced front and rear air suspension systems for improved ride comfort and passenger safety. The buses will be powered by high-capacity Lithium-ion battery packs offering a driving range of over 250 kilometres per charge, with opportunity charging capability of approximately 45 minutes. Dedicated wheelchair spaces will be provided to ensure inclusive and accessible mobility. Managing Director Mahesh Babu described the order as a significant milestone in Olectra’s journey of advancing India’s electric mobility transformation, reaffirming the company’s commitment to Make in India and world-class electric bus manufacturing. Under this vision, Hyderabad’s public transport system is being reshaped to be efficient, environmentally responsible, and future-ready—supporting India’s broader clean energy and net-zero goals.

CMRL has ventured into an extensive infrastructure development in the city comprising of three more corridors of metro rail for a total length of 116.1 km. ​Corridor 3 comprising a total alignment length of 45.4 km from MadhavaramMilk colony to Siruseri Sipcot will be spanning across the north to south direction of the Chennai city and has a total of 28 underground stations and 19 elevated stations. ​Corridor 4 is an east west alignment for a length of 26.1 km connecting the beach front from Light House station to the Depot at Poonamallee has 9 underground stations and 18 elevated stations. ​Corridor 5 also begins at Madhavaram Milk colony and connects through Koyambedu, Porur, Alandur and other residential/commercial development of the city to Shollinganallur for a total length of 44.6 km with 6 underground stations and 39 elevated stations. ​The tunnel construction for the first 9 km underground section of Corridor 3 from Madhavaram Milk Colony to Kellys is being executed through M/s Tata Projects limited and mobilized 7 TBMs for the tunnelling works. ​The TBM Kolli (S 81) tunnel drive started on 11.07.2023 from AyanavaramStation to Otteri station (Up line), covered a bored tunnel length of 903 m and break-through done at Otteri shaft on 29.08.2024. This is the 6th TBM breakthrough carried out by M/s Tata Projects Limited under TU-01 contract. As a whole, CMRL has completed 7 TBM breakthroughs in phase-2 project. ​The tunnel section between Ayanavaram and Otteri is the most complex tunnel section under the contract TU-01 with major challenges, such as the TBM S 81 (Kolli) first 500m tunnel drive negotiated with sharp 220m radius curve and the last 200m tunnel drive with 280m radius curves. Also, this tunnel drive completed with major challenges such as passing through densely populated areas and addressing more than 100 No. of bore wells along the alignment by providing alternate sources without any issue to the public. ​The complete tunnel drive was well managed within the allowable minimum settlements and extensive instrumentation and monitoring was ensured throughout the drive. ​Thiru T.
