"By 2027, BEST plans to expand its fleet of electric buses from 711 to 8,000, aiming for complete electrification and significantly improving public transport efficiency in Mumbai."
"Currently, the fleet consists of 2,911 buses, including 711 electric units. To foster electrification, BEST is set to retire 510 outdated vehicles in the next four months."
"Anil Diggikar emphasized that the introduction of 1,000 new electric double-decker buses will address overcrowding, ease traffic, and boost capacity particularly in south Mumbai and suburban areas."
"Despite plans for 2,100 electric buses pledged in May 2022, only 275 have been delivered so far, revealing significant delays and challenges in meeting electrification targets."
