Green Light for Chandigarh’s Electric Bus Revolution
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, paved the way for a significant upgrade to Chandigarh’s public transport system. The court’s ruling mandates the central government to issue a contract for the procurement of 100 electric buses for the city’s CTU (Chandigarh Transport Undertaking).
This decision marks a crucial step in the implementation of the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme in Chandigarh. The order paves the path for a greener and more efficient public transportation network.
The procurement will lead to the decommissioning of at least 100 older diesel buses, contributing to improved air quality and a reduction in carbon emissions.
This landmark judgment is expected to accelerate the transition towards sustainable urban mobility across other Indian cities, setting a precedent for similar initiatives nationwide. The impact on Chandigarh’s environment and the overall passenger experience will be closely watched.
