"The delivery follows an initial batch of 10 buses introduced in August 2025, bringing the total number of vehicles supplied under the programme to 100. The buses have been integrated into the NTC fleet, which has historically operated an ageing vehicle base."
"Operational aspects of the deployment include a charging strategy based on off-peak hours, with vehicles scheduled to recharge from 9 p.m. onwards in order to limit the impact on the national electricity grid."
"Switch Mobility has initiated operations in the intercity electric coach segment with the deployment of the first units on the Mumbai-Pune corridor. The company has delivered an initial batch of ten vehicles, with further 15 deliveries planned within the year."
"Ganesh Mani stated that 'the flag-off marks another important step in expanding electric mobility beyond cities and strengthening our presence in the intercity segment,' noting that the project targets a high-frequency corridor where 'performance, reliability, and efficiency are critical.'"
Mauritius has received 90 electric buses from India, completing a grant initiative for the National Transport Corporation. The total now stands at 100 buses, enhancing the aging fleet. A charging strategy will utilize off-peak hours to minimize grid impact. Additionally, Switch Mobility has launched intercity electric coaches on the Mumbai-Pune corridor, with plans for more deliveries. This initiative aims to improve electric mobility beyond urban areas, focusing on performance and reliability in high-frequency routes.
