CM Yogi Adityanath: UP to Add 250 New AC Electric Buses

The planned induction of 250 AC electric buses is expected to give a further boost to the state’s public transport system while supporting the wider adoption of clean and sustainable mobility solutions.
The move comes amid the Uttar Pradesh government’s focus on expanding EV infrastructure and increasing the availability of public charging facilities. The development of charging infrastructure is considered an important component of building a reliable ecosystem for electric vehicles.
The introduction of new electric buses in the UPSRTC fleet will also strengthen the availability of modern public transport services for commuters. Being air-conditioned, the new buses are expected to provide a more comfortable travel experience, particularly for passengers using public transport for longer journeys.
The state government’s latest announcement highlights its efforts to integrate electric mobility into public transportation. Increasing the number of electric buses can help public transport operators gradually transition towards cleaner vehicle technologies while reducing dependence on conventional fuels.
The expansion of the UPSRTC electric bus fleet is also expected to complement the development of public charging infrastructure across the state. A stronger charging network can make the operation of electric buses more practical and support the broader growth of EV adoption.
With 250 new AC electric buses planned for 2026-27, Uttar Pradesh is continuing its push towards modernising public transportation and expanding sustainable mobility options.
