In a major step toward promoting clean mobility and self-reliance, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that electric buses will now be manufactured in Uttar Pradesh. The initiative is expected to generate significant employment opportunities for youth while also contributing to environmental conservation.
The Chief Minister made this announcement during the inauguration of the ‘UP Trade Show Swadeshi Mela’ in Gorakhpur on October 10, 2025. He emphasized that the state is steadily advancing toward becoming a hub for electric vehicle (EV) production, aligning with the broader goals of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Employment and Environmental Benefits
The move is expected to open up new avenues of industrial growth and green jobs across the state. By manufacturing electric buses locally, Uttar Pradesh aims to reduce dependency on imports, cut down carbon emissions, and promote sustainable transport solutions in urban and rural areas alike.
Strengthening the State’s Industrial Vision
The decision is part of the government’s larger strategy to develop UP as a manufacturing and innovation center. With a growing focus on eco-friendly infrastructure, the initiative underscores the double objective of economic empowerment and environmental responsibility.
