The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), one of India’s biggest bus fleets with 17,000 buses, is buying more than 2,000 diesel buses to make up for its losses and regain passengers lost during the COVID-19-caused lockdown and the subsequent strike by its employees.
With the aim to make 33 per cent of its fleet electric, the MSRTC had earlier placed an order for over 5,150 e-buses. Now it has placed an order for 2,200 ready-built diesel buses complying with BS6 emission standards.
